Time	Text
	I watch C-SPAN for a living.
	Can I buy you a drink?
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, March 27, 2011.
	Time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 290.
	This is No Agenda.
	Watching all the Sunday morning news shows so you don't have to here at the Hilltop Watchtower, Crackpot Command Center, Kimo Nation West, the People's Republic of Southern California.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I can confidently say, mission accomplished.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Mission accomplished?
	Oh no, John, what's up?
	Well, didn't they turn everything over to NATO and we don't have any troops or any soldiers anymore?
	Yeah, mission accomplished.
	We're out.
	We're done.
	It's over.
	Good night, everybody.
	We're wrong.
	We thought it was just going to drag on, but I guess it's going to save us all that money.
	Yeah, it's going to be great.
	We're done.
	In the morning to you, my buddy.
	In the morning, you and in the morning, you all ships at sea feet on the ground.
	There's no boots on the ground, nor will there be, our president has promised us.
	I had a thought, though, John, as I was watching.
	There's just so much news.
	I have good clips.
	There's so much happening, so much coming in.
	And then I flip on.
	Mickey's got the pancakes rocking, as she always does.
	She's a big supporter of the Sunday morning experience.
	And what we always do is we flip on, what is it, Bob Gregory on Meet the Press.
	And there's Clinton and Gates.
	Yeah.
	Not Bill, but Fred, Secretary of Defense Fred Gates.
	And I'm like, oh my God!
	And then I start twirling around the dial, and they're on every single morning show.
	I'm like, oh, I can't believe this.
	I've got to get some clips.
	I've got to get something that's happening.
	And as I'm watching this stuff, and of course I have one clip that's relevant, I came up with a new theory.
	Because there's all this talk about what used to be the protesters, but now it's the rebels.
	So this is different in the whole Arab Spring plan, which actually is a plan, and I have some documentation to back that up, known as the Path to Persia.
	We have not seen protesters or demonstrators turn to rebels.
	I mean, rebels with jet fighters.
	Okay, maybe it was only one, but a jet fighter, tanks, anti-aircraft guns.
	I mean, we had some guys with flags in Egypt.
	We had some people with...
	Everyone has an AK-47 in Yemen.
	We know that, but not the heavy stuff like this.
	Take this as an idea, John.
	What if the Chinese were actually arming the rebels, honing in on our business, and we call up Gaddafi?
	Because, of course, we know Gaddafi's our friend.
	He's been our friend.
	Everyone's been in the tent hanging out smoking the hookah.
	From Tony Blair to Bill Clinton to everybody.
	Everyone's in the tent with Gaddafi.
	What if we said, dude, here's what we're going to do.
	We've got to get these Chinese out because they're taking our playbook.
	This is what we do, not them.
	And this whole thing is a farce.
	Gaddafi will not get killed.
	He may get ousted, but you know the rebels aren't going to be running the country.
	What if this is just a complete scam to actually protect our interests and Gaddafi is being held as the patsy?
	I'm not going to say it's far-fetched.
	Right.
	I just don't think the Chinese have gotten that far along in the game yet.
	A and B. We'll find out soon enough.
	I actually have a clip that will validate that theory one way or the other based on this guy's thesis.
	He's a professor at one of his war colleges.
	Do you know what I mean?
	Should we roll that out now then?
	No, well, yeah, we could if you want.
	Let me see.
	I've got the wrong thing on my screen.
	Well, while you're looking for that, let me play a little bit of Clinton and Gates this morning.
	Oh, yeah.
	Talking about, you know, the New World Order taking over our military.
	Because, of course, we don't need no congressional approval.
	We don't need that.
	No, no.
	And this is not just us.
	This is the United Nations.
	You know, the guys who actually own us.
	I was going to address the nation on Monday night.
	Imagine we were sitting here.
	Imagine all the people.
	And Benghazi had been overrun, a city of 700,000 people.
	And tens of thousands of people had been slaughtered.
	Hundreds of thousands had fled.
	And as Bob said, either with nowhere to go or overwhelming Egypt while it's in its own difficult transition.
	And we were sitting here.
	The cries would be, why did the United States not do anything?
	No, I disagree.
	I'd be like, tough luck for those guys, eh?
	That kind of sucks.
	No, I wouldn't be crying.
	I'd be crying over the people in the street here, Hillary.
	They're kind of making this up as they go along.
	And you know my favorite thing?
	I don't know if you saw the Hillary press conference.
	Yeah, of course I did.
	It was like five seconds.
	And she looked like she'd been beaten up.
	Well, it wasn't more than that.
	But I couldn't get a clip from it because it was so uninteresting.
	No, no, it was nothing.
	She...
	What happened, John, is NATO came out.
	They screwed her.
	They screwed her by saying, yeah, we'll do the no-fly zone.
	All that other stuff is for the coalition.
	They screwed her, and that's why it took her so long to get out there and say something, and then she said nothing.
	Yeah, no, she said nothing, and that's the thing I was going to point out.
	It took forever.
	Everybody was going to cut to it.
	It was about an hour of them obviously yelling and screaming in the back room.
	It was Hillary going, I can't believe that bastard!
	He screwed me!
	Because they very clearly, the NATO general, what's his name, or the guy from Denmark, he came out and said, no, no, no, we'll take over the no-fly zone, but all the other stuff, that's for the coalition partners.
	What?
	You mean the same people who are screwing Iraq and Afghanistan?
	Clearly.
	Anyway, so let's just continue.
	And you're right, it's on the fly, which is why I think something happened that was off-book.
	How could you stand by when France and the United Kingdom and other Europeans and the Arab League and your Arab partners...
	This is a great line.
	She says, how can you stand by while they do something?
	Yes, this is no good.
	I mean, they're doing something and we're not.
	The French are taking care of it?
	No, we can't let the French take care of it.
	We've got to do it.
	We're saying, you've got to do something.
	You've got to do something.
	So, every decision that we make is going to have pluses and minuses.
	And she laughs.
	I want to play the basketball game.
	I want to play the basketball game.
	You heard the Secretary of Defense say that Libya did not pose an actual or imminent threat to the nation.
	And bearing in mind what you just said, I'm still wondering how the administration reconciles the attack without congressional approval with then-candidate Obama staying in 2000.
	because he has a clip that I didn't even have.
	Seven, the president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.
	And as a senator...
	Curveball!
	Curveball!
	You yourself, in 2007, said this about President Bush.
	If the administration believes that any, any use of force against Iran is necessary, the president must come to Congress to seek that authority.
	How are we going to answer that?
	John, what are we going to do?
	Think quick!
	Why not go to Congress?
	Well, we would welcome congressional support.
	Hey, come on, have some tea.
	Give us some support.
	We would welcome.
	It would be great.
	It's like unbelievable how she turns...
	Arrest her!
	She's against the Constitution.
	Arrest her!
	But I don't think that this kind of internationally authorized...
	Internationally authorized.
	John, am I hearing this incorrectly?
	Or are we now the bitch of the United Nations?
	Sounds like it to me.
	Yeah, it's authorized.
	Off with your head, Hillary.
	Off with your head.
	Off with your head, I said.
	...intervention where we are one of a number of countries participating to enforce a humanitarian mission.
	This is what I love.
	A humanitarian mission.
	So here's how it works.
	To save people from getting killed, let's go kill some people.
	I mean, explain it to me.
	I'll explain it to you.
	Play the Satan quiz.
	I was floating around the tube and I got this preacher.
	Play the Satan quiz.
	It's just a little thing.
	I think all the religious people out there and the Christians in particular and all the people and the George Bushites and the evangelicals should just take one listen to this and then think about what we're up to.
	Now somebody says, well everything that's going on in the world is certainly not under the influence of Satan.
	You might be surprised how much is.
	You should use a rule of thumb to understand what is and what is not.
	Jesus said in John 10 and 10, the thief cometh not but for, to steal and to kill and to destroy.
	I would suggest that if it's stealing, killing and destroying, it's certainly not coming from God.
	It's either caused by man that Satan is working through, and he might be working through somebody that they don't even know he's working through them.
	Beelzebub.
	Let me think.
	Wait, hold on a second.
	Didn't somebody just grab the largest cash of money or stole the largest cash of money?
	Well, you know, it's funny.
	Aren't we like blowing stuff up?
	Steal, destroy, and kill, I think we're the three.
	It's funny you say that because, of course, you know what I always do on the weekends.
	I always go to whitehouse.gov and I see if the president has signed any new crazy law, which he hasn't.
	I always watch his reality show, The West Wing Week.
	By the way, that voiceover, the guy's now on camera.
	It is the deputy press secretary.
	Who does that voiceover.
	And he's on camera with the same voice.
	It's amazing.
	Sucks.
	Yeah, it totally sucks.
	But then there's the presidential address.
	And what's interesting here, remember this is all teleprompter, is how the president reads his lines.
	He's really giving away the true meaning by what's happening.
	And of course, this is, I'll tell you how I read it, but this is about money.
	Obviously oil, but the money too.
	Very important.
	Have a listen.
	So make no mistake.
	Make no mistake.
	Shut up.
	Do as you're told.
	Make no mistake.
	John, are you making a mistake?
	Look.
	Because we acted quickly, a humanitarian catastrophe has been avoided, and the lives of countless civilians, innocent men, women, and children, have been saved.
	When I hear him say that, I want him to say created or saved.
	Saved or created.
	Doesn't it sound like that?
	Hey, in Libya we have saved or created millions of lives.
	It sounds like...
	Now, listen to what's next.
	As I pledged at the outset, the role of American forces has been limited.
	Limited.
	We're not putting any ground forces into Libya.
	No boots on the ground.
	Our military has provided unique capabilities.
	Unique.
	Unique capabilities.
	They say that, by the way, that is a buzz phrase.
	It's a meme.
	They say it over and over again.
	Hillary said it in one of her other things.
	We bring, she did it in her speech, we bring unique capabilities.
	Yeah.
	Which is mainly stealing their money.
	And then killing people.
	Killing them.
	With surgical precision.
	...at the beginning, but this is now a broad international effort.
	Our allies and partners are enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya and the arms embargo at sea.
	Key Arab partners, like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, have committed aircraft.
	And as agreed this week, responsibility for this operation is being transferred from the United States to our NATO allies and partners.
	Now listen to this next line.
	This is how the international community should work.
	More nations, not just the United States, bearing the responsibility and cost of upholding peace and security.
	This military effort is part of our larger strategy.
	Now listen to this again.
	This is part of our larger strategy.
	But then he actually adds something to that line, which doesn't sound like it was.
	It sounds like two separate things.
	So he says, part of our larger strategy, and then he puts something else in.
	Security.
	This military effort is part of our larger strategy to support the Libyan people.
	To support the Libyan people.
	It doesn't sound like that.
	It's part of our largest...
	It was cut in.
	And part of our largest strategy is to...
	Support the Libyan people.
	And hold the Qaddafi regime accountable.
	Together with the international community, we're delivering urgent humanitarian assistance.
	We're offering support to the Libyan opposition.
	We've frozen tens of billions of dollars of Qaddafi's assets that can help meet the needs and aspirations of the Libyan people.
	So I think what's going to happen here is...
	So we stole all that money.
	And then when everything's all settled, then we're going to use that money to go build some cool stuff.
	Hotels.
	Hotels for the oil workers.
	It's unbelievable.
	Let's go back to your thesis because I do have a couple of questions.
	About the Chinese.
	Yeah, okay.
	Good.
	Again, I'm not completely buying it.
	I have two clips now that I think about it that might kind of imply other basis for this whole thing.
	But play the unintended consequences.
	And this kind of...
	If this scenario that this professor outlines happens, then...
	Or if it doesn't happen, sorry, if it doesn't happen, then your theory might be correct because it should happen, so play this.
	Libya should carry out the commitments.
	Oh, wait, stop.
	It starts off with a George Bush clip indicating that we had gotten into bed with Qaddafi some time ago and there's no reason for us not to still be there.
	Libya should carry out the commitments announced today.
	Libya should also fully engage in the war against terror.
	Terror.
	Its government in response to the United Nations Security Council's Lockerbie demands.
	has already renounced all acts of terrorism and pledged cooperation in the international fight against terrorism.
	We expect Libya to meet these commitments as well.
	As the Libyan government takes these essential steps and demonstrates its seriousness, its good faith will be returned.
	Libya can regain a secure and respected place among the nations and over time achieve Far better relations with the United States.
	Paul Sullivan.
	Well, clearly there was quid pro quo expected there.
	Muhammad Gaddafi and the Libyans giving up terrorism or renouncing, supporting terrorism.
	Taking a look at that right now, I think the situation has changed.
	I would not be surprised if Muhammad Gaddafi made some of his sleeper cells that may exist in parts of the world kinetic.
	And he could bring violence to many parts of the world if he indeed has that capability of doing this.
	He's shown it in the past.
	The man is 69 years old.
	He's been involved with just about every nefarious group in the world in his past.
	He has connections all over the place.
	That's where a lot of his mercenaries have come from.
	He has connections with the Polisario Front.
	He has connections throughout West Africa.
	This is a very bad character, and this may be stirring up a hornet's nest.
	We're talking about the history.
	So I'm not quite sure how that ties into my idea.
	Well, here's the deal.
	If what you're saying is a scheme between us and Gaddafi, then none of this will happen.
	We won't have a bunch of terror attacks left and right in Africa all over the place because Gaddafi's controlling all these.
	Because he's still, apparently, he's still in the network.
	Yeah, all he has to do is just say the word.
	So if nothing happens...
	Then I'm right.
	Then you're right.
	If something starts to happen, like anything, like some...
	Stuff starts to blow up.
	Stuff starts to blow up, then you're wrong.
	So how about the bombing in Israel?
	Could that be Gaddafi's doing?
	I don't know.
	We're going to see.
	I think this will unfold within the next couple of weeks.
	Now, the reason I think that you're wrong is there's kind of a...
	Tell me if you can spot the tell in the coalition clip, coalition MP3 clip, We have here, let me get his name, this is Vice Admiral Gortney giving a Pentagon briefing about whether or not we're communicating with the opposition on the ground.
	He says no, which by the way surprises me if true, because how do we know who to bomb?
	Because we're, I think, well, this plays into my theory.
	I think it's kind of explained by the Freudian slips.
	Right.
	One last question.
	We've been asking this question for days now about communications, official or otherwise, with rebel forces on the ground, between the U.S. and rebel forces on the ground.
	Could you answer in English about...
	In English?
	What is the guy?
	Chinese?
	...what the level is right now of that communication?
	We're not communicating with the coalition on the ground.
	At the...
	I misspoke.
	We're not communicating with the opposition forces on the ground, mill-to-mill communications with the opposition forces on the ground.
	We see the same reporting in the diplomatic channels, but when it comes to the opposition military forces and our military forces, we are not communicating.
	What?
	He says coalition.
	He says coalition twice.
	He can't get it out of his mind.
	He says we're not communicating with the coalition forces on the ground.
	And he keeps talking.
	He says, oh, wait a minute.
	I made a mistake.
	I misspoke.
	Yeah, right.
	So in other words, there are boots on the ground already.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Okay, so I do have a clip.
	That actually goes against my theory.
	And again, this is just a theory that just kind of hit me, so it's not built out yet, and I haven't really been able to do the research.
	But this one blew me away.
	This is before we were doing the show, actually, John, this clip from 2007.
	General Wesley Clark.
	We all know who he is, right?
	Right, the alien general with the big bug eyes.
	Well, yeah.
	He was four-star general after 9-11.
	And he's on Democracy Now!
	in 2007.
	And when I heard this...
	It just blew me away.
	And of course, it contradicts the whole China theory, but it doesn't matter.
	It's crazy to hear this in hindsight of 9-11.
	About 10 days after 9-11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz.
	I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the joint staff who used to work for me.
	And one of the generals called me in.
	He said, sir, you've got to come in and talk to me a second.
	I said, well, you're too busy.
	He said, no, no.
	He says...
	We've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq.
	This was on or about the 20th of September.
	I said, we're going to war with Iraq.
	Why?
	He said, I don't know.
	And listen, stupid slaves.
	He said, I guess they don't know what else to do.
	So, I said, well, did they find some information connecting Saddam to Al-Qaeda?
	He said, no, no.
	He says, there's nothing new that way.
	They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.
	He said, I guess it's like, we don't know what to do about terrorists, but we've got a good military and we can take down governments.
	And he said, I guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.
	So I came back to see him a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan.
	I said, are we still going to war with Iraq?
	And he said, oh, it's worse than that.
	He said, he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper, and he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meeting the Secretary of Defense's office today, and he said, this is a memo that describes how we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran.
	Had there been no oil there, it would be like Africa.
	Nobody is threatening to intervene in Africa.
	The problem is the opposite.
	We keep asking for people to intervene and stop it.
	So, that kind of blew me away.
	That's a good clip.
	It blew me away.
	And, of course, we weren't doing the show, so we had no reason to ever have it.
	But this surfaced.
	I'm like, wow.
	Really?
	On the 20th of September?
	Like...
	Like nine days after...
	This is before they even started hyping the whole WMD bullcrap.
	Right.
	And this guy's just saying it?
	Yeah, apparently he's one of his buddies and he's freaked out about it, I guess.
	So this whole thing is part of something called the Path to Persia, which was set up by the Brookings Institute.
	And that's where this...
	Go figure.
	Yeah, that's where this seven...
	And I put the documents in the show notes, noagendashow.com, so you can check it out.
	They got PowerPoints.
	And the whole idea was...
	Oh, yeah.
	They got PowerPoints, overhead sheets.
	They got handouts, everything.
	Maybe we should play that Satan clip again.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, really.
	We'll play it at the end of the show.
	No, actually, I got a thing for the end of the show, and I'm going to do a mashup with that Satan clip later.
	I will do it in a future show.
	So let's thank a couple people, because our listeners are our producers, and they're the ones that fund the show and give us time to do this, which is a lot of work, I can tell you.
	As crazy as it is on Thursdays, when there's just so much as overwhelming, Between Thursday and Sunday, you really got to focus.
	I don't know if you have this, John, but I find myself really focusing because I want to make sure we have a show.
	It ruins my Saturday.
	There's no Saturday.
	I've got to get some clips.
	I can barely do a Friday night with Miss Mickey.
	What are you doing?
	I've got to get clips.
	Mickey's like, here's the standard question at the hilltop.
	Do you have to work?
	I've got to get some clips.
	Yeah, I've got to go get some clips.
	Exactly.
	Okay, so we have a new night.
	We're thanking our executive producers, starting with Mark Dytham, who's in Tokyo.
	And he and his partner, Astrid, are actually two quite famous architects.
	Now, were these the two who were donating back and forth?
	No, no.
	You mean the challenge donations?
	No, I don't think so.
	But we had it under...
	We were somehow under the impression because he donated a couple times and I... Or she donated...
	Yeah, he donated and she donated.
	Yeah, maybe...
	I think it was.
	It wasn't the one where they were after each other.
	Remember those two?
	Yeah.
	Eh, that guy's...
	You know, those two are great.
	Anyway...
	These two are awesome.
	Sir Mark here...
	Anyway, he...
	Said that his math doesn't indicate that Astrid was ever made a dame.
	So he's putting it right and giving $1,000 so she can become one and so she'll be one.
	And we have some other follow-up information, which we'll talk about in a future show.
	That is true love right there.
	When you give your mate a damehood.
	That's love.
	That's big-time love.
	And for the show.
	Jeffrey Pachito in Richmond Hill, Ontario, $333.86.
	Is he an associate?
	He will be an executive.
	No, because everybody over three...
	No, these are all executive producers.
	Okay, gotcha.
	As a matter of fact, we have nothing but executive producers.
	Cool.
	After such a wonderful solo birthday wish for my daughter, I couldn't help but donate again.
	Also, this year's a special year for me and my son.
	I'll be turning 33.
	I'll be turning three.
	Magical 33.3.
	So if you can use 2.78 of it, just to wish me a happy birthday on March 28th, 11.
	Well, brother.
	On March 28th, 111.08 for my son Matthew Francisco Christopher on May 13th.
	Okay, anyway, he gets a happy birthday.
	Yeah, coming up later.
	And he gave us $333.86.
	Now, he sent out a mailing for the 300 Club, so anyone who wants to donate $300 gets it, because we're for our 300 show, and we have a bunch of contributors to that.
	Anthony Kuzmichich.
	I think it's Anthony.
	I think it's Anthony.
	Anthony Kuzmichich.
	From Parts Unknown, $300.
	Barry Wilson, Sir Barry, actually.
	Coffs Harbor, New South Wales, $300.
	Chin Chan Chew?
	Really?
	We don't laugh about names here.
	I'm not laughing.
	I'm just wondering.
	$300, I wonder.
	Other people have suggested a less ranting.
	Adam sometimes carries it too long.
	More respect for other countries.
	I wonder.
	Yeah, probably for names, too.
	Restrictive badgering of public figures.
	Why don't you go listen to NPR, dude?
	Seriously.
	Basically, more politically correctness, please, on the show.
	Anyway, guess what he's actually asking for.
	Clinton, Michigan.
	We try.
	Cole, Candler.
	We do the best we can.
	Lynchburg, Virginia.
	John and Adam, congratulations on your 300 show.
	I've enjoyed the show from early on.
	Keep up the good work.
	And please de-douche me.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	You've been de-douched.
	Golden Walton, Austin, Texas.
	Keep up the awesome work, Jeff.
	Southwell, Pompano Beach, Florida.
	John Kilburn, Black Knight John.
	Houston, Texas.
	Still listening to the show from 1 to 300.
	I was on the Deuce Club, so I thought I'd better get in the Triad Club.
	I like that.
	Looking forward and hoping there will be a Quatern Club.
	We hope so, too.
	There should be a Quatro Club.
	That would be...
	Maybe.
	Anyway.
	Also, our friend from Madison, Wisconsin, was mentioned last week, or last show, Michael Gogo, Satagaya, Tokyo.
	Satagaya.
	I don't know.
	S-E-T-A-G-A-Y-A. Sounds like Satagaya.
	Mickey Kennedy, Kingsville, Maryland, should make me a knight.
	We have him down as a knight.
	Or is it a her?
	No, it's a him.
	It's a him.
	It's a him.
	Okay, it's a him.
	It's a him.
	It's a him.
	Philip Smith, Frankston, Victoria, Australia.
	In the morning, John and Adam, I... How could I not be moved in this event, the 300th anniversary or 300th show?
	I enjoy the show more than most and I'm happy to give you my support.
	Also, thanks for the karma last month.
	Having landed a great new role and got married, so hey, I'm going to quote him, this shit works.
	So actually, I'm more scared not to donate.
	That's the attitude we're looking for.
	Let's see, where was I? I think that's it.
	There is something, but anyways, he mentions the karma thing that actually works quite well.
	M.F. Barrow and Wooten Bassett, Wiltshire, UK. It's actually a birthday present for my wonderful husband, Brian Barrow.
	I've spent too long listening to him saying you should donate.
	Ah!
	There you go.
	So now I've got the ball rolling.
	It's over to you, B! Hey, B! It's over to you, B! Anyway, that was...
	I'm sorry, that was...
	Associate.
	Associate and Executive.
	We have also, it came in the mail, from CKP Creative, a note I want to read.
	As executive producer of Show 250, I asked for some karma for my copywriting business.
	All of a sudden, these deals came my way, but they were never finalized into paying gigs.
	I was beginning to think No Agenda Karma was crap.
	Oh, no!
	Then recently, out of the blue, I got an email from someone I worked with five years ago.
	Long story short, gig finalized and is easily my biggest client of 2011.
	Ha, ha, ha.
	Lesson learned, no agenda karma works.
	By the way, he's saying this, not us.
	No agenda karma works, but sometimes a little patience is called for, so I'll enclose my check for the 290 Club.
	One more big step toward my knighthood.
	Please mention ckpcreative.com, and who knows, maybe no agenda karma will kick in again.
	And thanks, as always, for the must-listen podcast.
	So that is coming from...
	Craig Gitmo Nation cheesesteak.
	Philly.
	Well, thank you.
	He'll be our executive producer and the sole member of the 290 Club.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	So, quite a list there.
	And remember, we have the 300...
	What is it called again?
	It's the 300 Club.
	No, no, no.
	What was the name of the guy just said?
	The Triad.
	The Triad.
	Yeah, the Triad.
	I like that.
	We'll change it to that.
	The Triad Club is open, and anyone who donates for that special event, which will be the 300 Show, they'll get mentioned as an executive producer when they donate, and again, they'll be listed on a webpage for the 300 Show, and they'll be mentioned again then.
	I'm very, very happy with these giving levels because at this rate, if we can keep this up, I can give up squeezing the corporate squirrel.
	Squirrel!
	And I can do a daily source code again.
	I haven't done one for weeks.
	I've been having to get other gigs to make money to pay the rent.
	I'm still not getting this squirrel gag.
	Have you not seen the movie?
	No.
	Oh, you didn't see up there?
	No.
	Oh, I did see you up there.
	Yeah.
	Oh, right.
	Squirrels!
	People seem to like it.
	I mean, we'll get tired of it.
	Don't worry.
	We'll get tired of it.
	By the way, Mark in Tokyo has also a karma story that was interesting, and we'll probably read it at a future date.
	So, the place to do all this...
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Burn that into your membrane for a moment there.
	And furthermore, some PR activities I want to note.
	So, of course, the excellent human resource game is now available in the App Store.
	Help Crackpot and Buzzkill balance out the world, find little goodies, and save the human resources.
	He says he was able to send us $33.00.
	From the first purchases, which is actually quite a lot for a new game.
	He also has a free game out called No Agenda Stack.
	And with all of the No Agenda artwork, gravity is working against you to stack the artwork on top of each other.
	It's actually quite a challenging game, but fun to play, so link in the show notes.
	Art Tetris!
	Yeah, kind of, in a way.
	A couple of cool domain names that are being forwarded to noagendashow.com.
	Budgetgiving.com, which I think is kind of nice.
	IncontinentIncompetence.com.
	Yeah, that's a real catchy one.
	I'm sure people will remember that.
	DootsBag.com.
	And then this one, personally, I kind of liked.
	KillingAndChilling.com, both permutations.
	Also KillingAndChilling.com.
	So that is now forwarding to NoAgendaShow.com.
	And to remind everybody that Doug Nation, the brand new album by GX2, is now out and available on iTunes.
	A portion of the proceeds goes to the No Agenda Show.
	It's No Agenda Records.
	That, of course, is GX2 and the wonderful Mr.
	Oil putting out all the tunes for you.
	So if you'd like the song that we played in the pre-stream show this morning, there's a whole album of it.
	Also available at Amazon.
	Go to NoAgendaRecords.com.
	Great initiative and really enjoy that.
	Now, as for our supporters for this program, thank you so much to our Associate Executive Producer, M.F. Barrow, the sole member of the 290 Club, Craig of CKPCreative.com.
	Then, of course, our Executive Producers and 300 Club members, the Triads, Anthony Kuzmichich, Sir Barry Wilson, Chin Chan Chu, Cole Candler.
	Was it Chandler or Candler?
	Candler, got it.
	Jason Southwell, John Kilburn, John Schumann, Mickey Kennedy, Philip Smith, our executive producer, Jeffrey Pasito, and, of course, our executive producer, Sir Mark Dytham, who will be daming his mate Astrid, and we'll be doing that later on.
	Of course, everyone else out there, you've got a very simple mission.
	You know what it is.
	It's going out propagating the formula.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	All right, everybody, say it loud and proud like you need it.
	Shut up, slaves!
	Shutupslaves.com.
	Also pointing to noagendershow.com.
	Wow.
	Shut up, yeah, right.
	That's right.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That's right.
	So, uh...
	That's right.
	Something a little light, kind of light-hearted in all of this?
	Light-hearted.
	Light-hearted.
	We'll play the Satan clip again.
	Do I just have to queue this thing up to use it all the time?
	Somebody says, well, everything that's going on in the world is certainly not under the influence of Satan.
	You might be surprised how much he is.
	You should use a rule of thumb to understand what is and what is not.
	Jesus said in John 10 and 10, the thief cometh not but for, to steal and to kill and to destroy.
	I would suggest that if it's stealing, killing and destroying, it's certainly not coming from God.
	It's either caused by man that Satan is working through, and he might be working through somebody that they don't even know he's working through.
	Yeah, Hillary Clinton.
	Beelzebub herself.
	Lucifer.
	Lucifer Clinton.
	There you go.
	Finally.
	When I heard that, I said, you know, it's a clip.
	Yeah, it's Lucifer Clinton.
	So anyway.
	So Donald Trump is getting interesting.
	He's getting interesting.
	He was on Letterman last night.
	Oh, really?
	A couple nights ago.
	Well, he was on The View, which I find much more interesting.
	Oh, yeah.
	I saw him on that, too.
	Oh, so you're not interested anymore?
	No, no.
	Go on.
	I want to hear your take on it because it's getting a little...
	It is kind of interesting, but it's...
	When he was on Letterman, he went through...
	You know, Letterman likes to ride him.
	And so there was just the whole thing.
	And at the very end, it's like an afterthought, but they were wrapping the segment.
	Letterman says, oh, oh, oh, you're running for, you know, he's going to say, talk about running for president, but they're rapping, right?
	Yeah.
	And then Letterman passes his hand off and says, ah, it's bull crap, you're not running for anything anyway.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Well, what was the interview about then if it wasn't about him running for president?
	It was just about what current events and what's going on with the show.
	Yeah, well, it's his show.
	The Apprentice is on again, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, this is, we know it's all promotion.
	Yeah, the guy's a promotion.
	He's a genius.
	Yeah, so we know it's all promotion.
	That's great.
	But he did take this Obama birth certificate to a new level on The View, which I just found interesting.
	You know, of all the things you can do to promote your TV show, this is an interesting one to bring up.
	And what I love the most...
	Whoopi got all bent out of shape.
	Whoopi plays the race card on this one.
	You recently said about President Obama...
	Hey, Joy Behar...
	I'm going to quote you.
	He grew up and nobody knew him.
	Nobody knows who he is until later in his life.
	The whole thing is very strange.
	What are you driving at there?
	Are you a birther, Donald?
	Let me just tell you.
	I was a really good student at the best school.
	I'm not like a smart guy, okay?
	They make these birthers into the worst it is.
	Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?
	I think he probably...
	Why should I have to?
	Because I have to and everybody else has to.
	Excuse me.
	Why?
	No, excuse me.
	I really believe there's a birth certificate.
	Why...
	Look, she's smiling.
	Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?
	And you know what?
	I wish he would.
	Because I think it's a terrible pail that's hanging...
	What is it?
	A pail?
	What is that?
	It's a terrible pail hanging over his head.
	A pail is what he's, you know...
	But he says a pail, like a pail.
	Like a...
	Yeah, he was thinking...
	He was visualizing the word and came up with pail.
	Yeah, like a pail of water when you open the door and the pail falls on your head.
	No, excuse me.
	I really believe there's a birth certificate.
	Why?
	Look, she's smiling.
	Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?
	And you know what?
	I wish he would.
	Because I think it's a terrible pal that's hanging over him.
	He's a really smart guy.
	Went to one of the top schools.
	A pal?
	It's a pail.
	It's a pail.
	It's a pail of slime.
	He cracks me up with all this bragging.
	Show his birth certificate.
	The other thing, if you go back to my first grade, my kindergarten, people remember me.
	Nobody from those early years...
	That's not true.
	We have pictures of them.
	They don't show pictures.
	This was good.
	It was very crackpotty.
	What are you talking about?
	Okay, show me a picture.
	There are people in Hawaii.
	There are people that he's grown up.
	No, as little kids.
	But more importantly, why doesn't he...
	And you know what?
	I think he probably was, but the word probably would be...
	Why did he have to defend himself against...
	You know why?
	Shut up, Barbara.
	He says, if you're going to be the president...
	It's admitting that there is this guy.
	How can...
	I know, Bob.
	And somewhere in the middle, Whoopi pulls out the race car.
	If you're going to be the president of the United States, it says very profoundly that you have to be born in this country.
	But did any of the president do that?
	Let me just get to the whoopee thing, right?
	Let me fast forward this crap.
	It was a big part.
	I have seen fraud and I have seen scandal.
	Yeah.
	No, really?
	Really, Trumpy?
	I have seen things that a lot of people don't see.
	I've seen people take a hundred dollar bill and make it a million dollar bill.
	We're going to have to...
	Hey, hey, can I win a million dollar bills there?
	Hey, Trumpy!
	Paz, get to the point.
	Okay, get to the point.
	I can't rely on some newspaper that they show that...
	In order to become President of the United States...
	I want him to show his birth certificate.
	I want him to show his birth certificate.
	Here it comes.
	that he doesn't like.
	Oh, my God.
	That is just a whoopie.
	I'm telling you.
	You're down to the gate.
	I love you.
	I'm telling you.
	Donald, I love you, too.
	I think that's the biggest pile of dog mess I've heard in ages.
	If the question is, is it why I'm whooping?
	Is it something on the show?
	It's not because he's black.
	He's black.
	It's because he's black.
	That's nothing to do with that.
	What color you are?
	Because I've never heard any right.
	All right.
	Off with their heads.
	Did you get, did you get, was that amusing to you?
	It was very amusing to me.
	I thought it was pretty funny.
	Sounds like a hen house.
	It's like, you know, when you do the interview show or talk shows, then you get, especially when you have too many people.
	Yeah, it sucks because you can't hear anything except the person who yells the loudest.
	When I was doing Silicon Spin, we'd have four people, and they'd rarely, but once in a while, there'd be four lively people.
	Yeah.
	And they'd all start yakking at once.
	And then meanwhile, of course, the producers got an eye for me and Maya yelling at me.
	Yeah.
	You know, make them sound!
	Shut up!
	I mean, look at how we sound sometimes and we're just two guys.
	Yeah, no, you got to...
	I've seen shows where there's three guys and they're all talking at once.
	I mean, on Fox it happens all the time.
	But this is how many people?
	There's five, six people on the set yelling at each other?
	It's five women and the guest, yeah.
	It's terrible.
	And Whoopi, what is wrong with...
	What happened to her body?
	I don't know.
	She's been eating way too many potatoes.
	I don't know what it is, but she's got a muumuu on to hide it all.
	I know something kicked in on one of those seven-year cycles.
	The human body changes its chemistry every seven years.
	Really?
	Oh, is this in your book?
	No, it's just a fact.
	I mean, that's why, you know, your brain waves start to change when you're 14.
	You can drink when you're 21.
	It's a seven-year cycle, and then you start getting fat at some point, and it's always a multiple of seven.
	It's every seven years your body chemistry changes.
	And then what happens?
	I mean, so does it get...
	Then you die.
	Oh.
	Oh, what a bummer.
	Then you die.
	So seven times, what, ten?
	You get like ten cycles, maybe eleven?
	The 70-year one is really interesting if you haven't noticed that one.
	At 70, a lot of these guys, especially one-time moguls, they go back into kind of, they revert back into this point.
	Right, and they start banging hot chicks again.
	Yeah.
	I can't wait for that cycle.
	Remember Crown Books?
	There was that guy who took over the place, The Sun.
	Of course, the company's out of business now.
	The Sun was running it, just killing.
	Crown Books was a huge operation.
	And then the old man, who he inherited from, turned 70, took the company back over, ran around with a bunch of hot blondes, and ran the company into the ground.
	Right.
	So, we've got to watch out for that, then.
	I'm looking forward to it.
	Hot Pockets.
	Speaking of which, we'd really like to do the Hot Pockets tour.
	It kind of like went away, the whole discussion.
	What?
	The Hot Pockets Across America Tour.
	We would really like to go in July and August.
	What?
	I don't even remember this.
	Yes, it was the Hot Pockets.
	Well, we were talking about it almost a year ago.
	When you were going to jump in the RV? Yeah, but we don't have an RV. If we can get an RV, I mean, I can pay for the gas, which, by the way, barely.
	Barely.
	Holy crap.
	You ever drive one of those things?
	They only get about 12 miles to the gallon.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but it's diesel, so it's even more expensive.
	Very rarely.
	You're not going to get a diesel one, no.
	So really, if we can get hooked up with an RV, I think it would be great.
	I'd love to visit the human resources.
	We've calculated we can spend eight weeks.
	What?
	Yeah.
	What do you mean, what?
	You actually think you can spend...
	You guys still want to remain a couple?
	Oh, we'll be fine.
	We're great together.
	We love doing our road trips.
	We're good at that.
	Are you kidding me?
	Mickey, by the way, loves driving.
	She is a trucker at heart.
	But we just need the RV. That's all we need.
	If we can get the RV that's big enough to live in, then we'll be fine and we'll go and visit all the human resources.
	I really want to do this, but I can't afford the RV myself.
	So if someone has to sponsor it or we have to have something going on for the RV, certainly our audience is now big enough that someone knows somebody who can sponsor the RV. Well, there should be somebody in northern Indiana where all the RVs are made and now they've had to lay off everybody because they can't sell these things anymore.
	Because during this economy, the RV business has fallen to the toilet and there's RVs all over the place for sale and new ones that are getting old and they're sitting in inventory.
	You'd think there'd be somebody who runs an RV center.
	The problem is our audience reach doesn't necessarily hit every sub-segment of the society.
	But okay, we'll push it every week.
	We'll just kind of push it until something happens.
	If we have the RV, we'll lock up the house.
	The rent still has to be paid.
	I can't just move out.
	That would be cool, wouldn't it?
	Just move out and live in the RV. You know what would be cool to have an RV? I've seen guys who do this, by the way, retired guys.
	Key word, retired guys.
	Keyword!
	So they jump in the RV. You know, their kids are growing up.
	They don't have kids to deal with.
	So they jump in the RV and they have a satellite dish on the roof.
	Now they're so computerized that even while they're driving...
	They can watch satellite.
	I don't care about that.
	All I need...
	No, no, you do.
	Because when you get to satellite, you can still watch C-SPAN. Yeah, C-SPAN. True.
	When you stop in the various good guys, I think it's Good Neighbor Sam, Good Sam, I don't know what the name is, Sam's Club.
	There's a bunch of these operations across the country where you park your RV and you give them ten bucks and you hook up to the sewer and you get a free cable.
	It's a life.
	I think it would really be interesting for the show.
	I think it would be really cool.
	It would be fantastic for the show.
	Yeah, because I would get different input from different parts of the country.
	And it would be the prelude to our Australian tour.
	You could probably film a lot of it.
	You could probably take a lot of notes.
	Pictures.
	It could be turned into a book.
	And it could turn into a video series.
	It could really support the show.
	Well, I don't know about that, but it would do a lot.
	Well, what do you mean?
	If we had a book and we had stuff to sell from it, yeah, it would support the show.
	What are you talking about?
	I think, okay.
	Our producers are supporting the show, and I think they're doing a fine job.
	Anyway, let's listen to our president's promises, shall we?
	I think we need to be reminded, John, of all the promises he made about what he was going to do when he came in, and in light of what is happening now with the Arab Spring and the path to Persia, it's just good to remember that he actually promised us all.
	Shall we listen to that?
	Go for it.
	A little montage.
	I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do.
	I will get our troops home.
	We will bring an end to this war.
	You can take that to the bank.
	When I promise that we are going to bring this war in Iraq to a close in 2009, I want the American people to understand that I opposed this war in 2002, 2003, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
	So you can have confidence that I will be serious about ending this war.
	Iran, they spend One one hundredth of what we spend on the military.
	Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union.
	They don't pose a serious threat to us.
	I think it's time for us to end the embargo of Cuba.
	And I think that we have to end it because if you think about what's happening internationally, our planet is shrinking.
	And our biggest foreign policy challenge And it feeds into the remedies of the battle on terrorism, and it feeds into issues of trade.
	And our economy is how we make sure that other countries in developing nations are providing sustenance for their people, human rights for their people, a basic That is stable and secure so that they can keep partners in the brighter future of the entire planet.
	Close down Guantanamo.
	Restore habeas corpus.
	Say no to renditions.
	No to wireless wiretaps.
	I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo and I will follow through on that.
	I've said repeatedly that America doesn't torture.
	And I'm going to make sure that we don't torture.
	Those are part and parcel of An effort to regain America's moral stature in the world.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Douchebag of the Year!
	There you go.
	Douchebag of the Year.
	Good work.
	Yes, thank you.
	I slaved over it.
	So, well, good.
	Then we can play a little bit of, since we're going to go this direction.
	Let's see.
	We've got, oh, by the way, well, let's start off with hypothetical.
	No intro needed?
	Yeah, let me say who this is.
	This is a guy, Bruce Fine, who is a former assistant attorney, I guess an attorney general's, or the Justice Department guy from the Bush administration.
	He's a book writer now.
	That's a title, isn't it?
	Justice Department guy.
	Justice Department guy.
	He's American Empire Before the Fall.
	He wrote this book.
	And he actually had four clips in the end of show clip, which is just unbelievable.
	I mean, these clips are a little long, but I couldn't cut them any shorter because they're condensed and just amazing.
	So this is a book we should read.
	This is one for the book club.
	Yes, the book should be on the book club, American Empire Before the Fall.
	Alright, and this is his hypothetical clip.
	You should be riveted in your passion to try to rectify our plunge from a republic to empire by thinking of the following hypothetical.
	Suppose tomorrow President Barack Obama commands primetime television.
	He says, secret intelligence alerts me that...
	This is actually interesting because tomorrow he is commanding primetime television.
	It could happen.
	It could happen, right.
	Osama bin Laden now has a weapon of mass destruction.
	We confront the greatest danger, even a greater danger than World War II with the Luftwaffe and the zero airplanes.
	I'm suspending the Congress of the United States for your safety.
	I'm suspending civilian law and replacing it with military law because that's the only way I can make you safe.
	I'm doing this very reluctantly, but this is the only way we'll be able to preserve the country.
	And with that announcement, he says, and tomorrow I will start issuing edicts rather than legislation because we can no longer afford with this terrifying danger abroad.
	It's more than the 1% formula of Dick Cheney to accept the customary way which we've governed the country.
	If that happened, how many here think the American people in Congress say, we're impeaching President Obama tomorrow?
	That's simply not acceptable.
	We will not give up our freedom for this pledge of safety and magnifying the danger.
	We would rather...
	Be free and accept risk and be vassals and be absolutely safe.
	I think you all would agree nothing would happen.
	People would regret there would be some op-eds.
	Well, why don't you save for the question?
	My view is that the Congress would not respond in a way that ultimately the people in the Congress did with regard to President Nixon's abuses.
	I'm in Washington every day.
	I was horrified to learn in January in a debate with John Yoo that when the war resolutions for Afghanistan and Iraq We're at issue.
	Congress insisted the executive branch had to draft the language and when the bills were shopped in Congress, the members were angry that they were being forced to vote.
	They said, you need to go to war on yourself.
	Don't give us any responsibility in the matter.
	Wow.
	This is where we are as a country in my judgment.
	Remember, Tacitus wrote, as the Roman Republic descended to the Roman Empire, the worst crimes were dared by few, willed by more, tolerated by all.
	Well, it's a fractal, obviously.
	It's a total fractal.
	And the fact of the matter is that little point that he made there, that when Congress was presented with the...
	Because Bush did go to Congress for both Afghanistan and Iraq, even though it was with bogus rationales.
	Yeah, and he got approval from Congress.
	And he got approval, but apparently Congress says, could you just do this without us having to cast a vote?
	Yeah, because we don't want to be responsible.
	Because the congressional guys don't want to have their name on anything.
	Right.
	They're a bunch of weenies.
	So, oh God, if I say yes, the warmongers and the Satanists are going to be mad at me.
	They're not going to vote for me.
	And if I say no, then all the, you know, the Hawks are going to...
	It's just that you can't win.
	So they said, no, just go do it yourself.
	So they were probably really pleased at Obama.
	For just doing it without consulting them, even though Kucinich was the only guy complaining about it.
	Well, there's a couple more.
	Lugar is saying it's not...
	He's not saying impeach.
	Of course, Ron Paul, Rand Paul.
	So there are a few out there, but you're not going to see them on the news.
	Well, yeah, you're not going to see them on the news.
	But this is...
	It's interesting what this guy brings up for a couple of reasons.
	One, we have this newly created board of governors.
	Remember this, John?
	All the governors had to come together.
	They've got this secret little handshake decoder ring thing going on.
	This is about potential martial law in the United States, and all the governors have all these extra powers that have now been written by executive order.
	In Louisville, Kentucky...
	Louisville, they now have an emergency response plan, so I don't think it's been approved yet, but it would give the city the power to, quote, commandeer private property, seize buildings in a crisis.
	To the city's elected leaders.
	And I think that this whole Libya thing is coincidentally a nice little dry run to see if the American public is stupid enough to take this type of unconstitutional behavior.
	And clearly we are.
	Oh yeah.
	We are.
	We're just like...
	There was a...
	There was a report somewhere, I don't have it in the show notes, but somewhere I read that people were overwhelmed.
	They couldn't track Libya anymore because it's just too much.
	It's too much going on.
	Which, of course, is true.
	You have to be crazy like us and have support to not do anything else but track this stuff.
	First it was Egypt, Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, I can't track it.
	Japan, I don't know what to do.
	I can't follow the news.
	And the answer, of course, you just have to watch, listen to this show, and check out our show notes.
	And everything else, the U.S. Court.
	There's two things that happen.
	So the FBI now has expanded powers for assessments.
	And the, which court was it?
	Was it like the 9th District?
	Something before the Supreme Court, which I think is the 9th District.
	They basically said, alright, rules are investigators can hold domestic terror suspects as long as they want without giving them a Miranda warning.
	This is new.
	No Miranda warning necessary.
	So we can just pick you up.
	Based on an assessment, an assessment does not need a warrant.
	An assessment is if we suspect you of something, essentially.
	They can wiretap you.
	And it even says here, infiltrate groups.
	Isn't this what Cass Sunberger was talking about?
	Yeah.
	Sunstein?
	Sunstein, of course, and his wife, the power woman.
	Right.
	Right.
	They're all together in this.
	And I think that it's a second circle appeals court.
	I'm sorry.
	So now journalists are being wiretapped, and it's legal according to the Second Circuit Appeals Court?
	Well, you never know what those journalists might be up to.
	They don't seem to complain about any of this.
	They're all on board.
	Well, there was a lawsuit about it, obviously, and so they lost.
	Yeah, there's always one or two people making a fuss.
	Yeah, pesky little buggers.
	Stop that.
	I think it was...
	Well, if you want to go along this line for a little longer, the same guy, Bruce Fine, does a great rant, and I have a clip of that, too.
	I mean, this was done during a book fair in Virginia that, I believe it was Virginia, that took place in the middle of the month.
	Damn, I missed it!
	It was on C-SPAN. And I listened to this particular segment, which was two and a half hours, and not this clip.
	My God, you sat through two and a half hours of video of a book fair?
	Yeah.
	Hold on.
	You're welcome.
	Thank you very much.
	I'm here all the week.
	Yeah, apparently.
	But the thing is, I got this rant, and we have an end-to-show clip, too, from the same guy.
	It was worth the price of admission.
	This particular rant is worth the price of admission.
	And if we can think of where we are since 9-11, just enumerate the particular presidential usurpations that have occurred, open and notorious, without any serious repudiation.
	He sounds kind of mousy looking.
	Is he mousy looking?
	I think it's the mic, the micing of the thing was a cheap person.
	It's all over-modulated, too, or is that your...
	Oh, he leans into the mic, and I don't know who's doing the sound, but the sound is terrible.
	He's trying to reach our friends in the Middle East, because that's their sound.
	Yeah, that and Mexican radio.
	Yeah, we want to talk...
	They love that sound.
	Maybe we should do more of that.
	We'll get more listeners, if we over-modulate.
	I've been listening to the way you produced the show, and I think we hit that.
	Yeah, we get pretty close.
	I agree.
	By Congress of the American people.
	Let's start with the one that's the most dramatic.
	The president has announced he has authority unilaterally to place American citizens on assassination hitlers.
	If he thinks, in his judgment, they're an imminent danger to the United States.
	He's making money with a book?
	We talk about this every week.
	I know, we need to do a book.
	This is nothing new.
	And that kind of authority is beyond judiciary.
	It would be a state secret to try to have the judiciary probe into whether or not that was bona fide decision or whether it violated due process.
	We have also a situation where we have perpetual war and it's...
	Global.
	It's groovy.
	The authorization to use military force was the first time in the history that we declared war against a tactic, which can never be eliminated.
	So that meant, by definition, the war is perpetual.
	There's been no one in Washington, D.C., who's even conceived of a formula for determining the war is over.
	The second element that was revolutionary about this is because a tactic can be used anywhere.
	It means the entire globe, the entire planet is a battlefield where the president is authorized to use military force or impose military law, including in this very room here.
	And that insofar as we have any liberty at all, it's at the president's indulgence.
	He's decided he doesn't want to assert that kind of military projection as he wishes.
	We have open and notorious concessions.
	By former President and Vice President.
	They authorized waterboarding, the definition of torture as we used in prosecuting Japanese soldiers in World War II. And what happens?
	The President of the United States says, I just want to look forward, not backward.
	Well, Mr.
	President, you attended Harvard Law School like I did.
	All criminal law is looking backward because we don't prosecute things that haven't happened yet.
	It's called ex post facto laws.
	I mean, it's an utter fatuous argument.
	It was politically inconvenient.
	Well, there's a pardon power if you think that it'd be politically disruptive or convulsive to go forward with the criminal prosecution.
	President Ford thought that was true with Richard Nixon after he was out of office, but at least he had the courage to pardon the president.
	He didn't say, well, covers up, obstruction of justice, who cares?
	Politically inconvenient, we'll blink our eyes at it.
	Ordinarily, we find that's the problem with foreign countries that we're trying to rectify, including Afghanistan.
	And the response has been very weak.
	We have a president who flouted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for almost six years, intercepting the emails and phone calls of American citizens on American soils without any warrant whatsoever.
	A criminal violation.
	Blink death.
	We don't want to prosecute it.
	Congress doesn't ask for it.
	The successor president doesn't ask for it.
	Well, you know, as long as you have national security claim, the law doesn't matter.
	Well, I'm glad this guy's around because when I'm taken out, when they activate Miss Mickey and she hands me the poison oyster, he can sit in my chair.
	And he can over-modulate, so he's perfect.
	Just like you.
	This guy's perfect, isn't this?
	Excellent.
	I think it's like the war against the tactic.
	Classic.
	I was always wondering how to put that, how to phrase that.
	Well, I think we should just change it.
	The war against the squirrel.
	Squirrel!
	The war on squirrels!
	Squirrel!
	I don't know how long that's going to go on.
	A war against a tactic is perpetual.
	It's a war on terror.
	I mean, they could never actually bring the military to bear on the war on drugs, which is also perpetual.
	And also a great moneymaker.
	Oh yeah, great money maker.
	But the whole thing, there's also a fractal here of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslavia.
	Because if you really look back at it, now they had an advantage.
	Because of course this was about a pipeline that had to run through the country.
	Am I correct?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well...
	Well, there was also...
	That's where it boils down to.
	Yeah, I mean, the people didn't like each other.
	I mean, that was already there.
	There was religious strife going on, so it was an easy one.
	But it's the same thing.
	Clinton, Beelzebub, Lucifer Clinton, except it was Billy Boy, who was probably just noodling cigars, and then Hillary made the call, did the exact same thing.
	No fly zone.
	Kill everybody for humanitarian reasons.
	And then, here comes the pipeline.
	Now, we know there's a pipeline that has to go through Libya.
	And it can't be the Chinese.
	It can't be the Russians.
	It has to be ours.
	And if anyone...
	It misunderstands what we're saying here on the show.
	I think we've made it clear time and time again, it's all about oil.
	And everyone, you know, there's all kinds of groovy perks along the way, like taking Libya's money.
	Yeah, they say it's Gaddafi's money.
	It's like taking his money, the largest seizure in our nation's history of assets as per our president.
	There's all kinds of groovy things along the way.
	Oh, and we can ship heroin to people.
	That's another little groovy thing we can do.
	And we can take up land and buy islands in Greece.
	It's all groovy.
	Except for us.
	Except for the slaves.
	Did you see what happened in London yesterday?
	No, what?
	Half a million people protesting, burning crap, breaking windows.
	This wasn't very well covered.
	Duh.
	Yeah, half a million people took to the streets.
	Now, of course, it's the wrong people for the wrong reasons, which is unfortunate, because at the end of the day, the only way we're going to change anything is the young people, the young people who are, you know, should be like up in arms, like, you know...
	Well, my generation was too busy doing blow in the 80s and 90s, but your generation, John, certainly was out there protesting.
	We did our part, and probably when we all start going into retirement homes, we're going to do our part again because it's going to be a mess.
	Yeah, well, you're going to be out on the street.
	What home are you talking about?
	Yeah.
	In no retirement homes.
	People have been throwing walkers and canes.
	Zimmer frames.
	So what happened in the United Kingdom is they come out with a budget.
	And of course, it's just like Greece.
	It's just like Portugal.
	Portugal, of course, the Prime Minister said, screw this.
	I'm not going to be any part of that.
	And everyone's revolting.
	Yeah, he's like, I'm getting out.
	I got an island in Greece I got to go tidy up.
	And so the austerity measures came in, which means no service for you, slaves.
	Literally, no service for you.
	No service for you!
	So they're cutting all kinds of public services.
	So who takes to the streets?
	The people who are getting cut.
	Now, instead of revolting...
	Yeah, after they finally realized...
	I mean, the joke of this, that is the joke of it, is that they, you know...
	For one thing, the thing they cut, they always like to cut...
	Things that apply to the slaves as opposed to cutting middle management and these top budgets and the bottomless pit of the Defense Department spending.
	So, you know, they don't do that.
	They take it from...
	And, of course, the people...
	The United Kingdom is generally kind of a socialist system, and a lot of people rely on it.
	And now that's, you know, the visits of the doctors are going to get yanked away.
	All kinds of stuff is taking place.
	And so, you know, instead of the...
	I'm sure some of the people were like, hey, we want more service.
	But most of these people were the ones who were getting cut.
	Who would...
	I mean, it's an expensive country to live in.
	I know, because I live there.
	And then the funniest thing, and actually I think Mr.
	Oil sent me a clip about this, is a huge...
	Cameron made a huge gesture.
	Oh, you know, to offset some of the costs and the cuts, we're going to take a penny off of the price of petrol.
	A penny.
	One penny.
	They don't even make pennies anymore.
	Yeah.
	We're taking a penny off.
	A whole penny.
	What a gesture.
	But it's funnier because they're actually not reducing it.
	They're raising the price.
	Listen to this report.
	First though, if you filled up the car or your van this morning.
	Your van.
	Flush.
	BBC Radio 1.
	It was the government's big gesture in yesterday's budget to help people save a bit of money.
	One pee off the price of a litre of fuel.
	Another planned fuel increase is ditched or delayed.
	But as soon as we gave you the news last night, the text started coming in to 81199, basically saying, big deal.
	And now the Chancellor's having to deny claims that his budget means prices will shoot back up in just a few weeks.
	Newsbeat's Greg Dawson's been looking into this.
	George Osborne's plan to help people at the pumps is simple.
	Tax the oil companies more and use the extra cash to allow drivers to pay less.
	Are you kidding me?
	So they're going to tax the oil companies.
	Of course, at least 50% of that will be passed right on to the consumer.
	Yeah, who are they kidding?
	Well, just listen.
	Hey, we're taking a penny off.
	Let people argue about the stupid penny.
	That's how it works.
	Argue about the dumb penny.
	And then meanwhile, hey, it just got more expensive.
	Oh well, let's have a beer.
	Yeah.
	It's sad.
	It's just sad.
	I posted a link to...
	General Butler's War is a Racket piece in the show notes, noagendashow.com.
	Reread that.
	That's General Smedley Butler.
	Smedley.
	Smedley.
	As he says, it is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.
	It is the only one international in scope.
	It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
	That's what we're a part of here.
	And Smedley was the one who saved this country, as a matter of fact, from turning into a benign dictatorship on behalf of the DuPonts.
	Yeah, he was asked to overthrow the government, wasn't he?
	Yeah, they asked to overthrow.
	It was a big conspiracy.
	It's been written about, if you want to look into it.
	Nobody talks about it much.
	Oh, well, you know, it happened.
	But they tried to essentially get Roosevelt out of office and replace him with a military dictatorship in the United States in the 30s.
	And it's very well documented.
	And it came one inch from actually happening.
	If it wasn't for this guy...
	Who was part of the scheme, and he said no.
	Right.
	And did he get a medal?
	Nobody ever got thrown in jail for conspiracy.
	All these huge hot shots.
	And it's a laundry list of unbelievable Democrats, by the way.
	Do we have a statue of him?
	Is he at the Capitol?
	Do we have a statue of him at the Capitol?
	Is he on the money?
	He's got that book.
	And it's out of print.
	You can't even get it on the Kindle.
	Yeah, you can get it.
	It's like the Green Book by Gaddafi.
	You can get it online.
	Meanwhile, the indoctrination of human resources everywhere continues.
	Television show, The Event.
	Have you ever watched the show, John?
	The Event?
	You know, I watched the first episode, rolled my eyes, fell off the couch, and turned it off.
	Yeah, so this is the season's finale of the event.
	No, it was still on.
	It's one of those shows, you know, the companies never see this.
	They drop the show in every few weeks.
	It's like V. Yeah, exactly.
	Well, V is the same thing.
	It's indoctrination.
	That's for vaccinations and swine flu.
	This one just slayed me when I heard what was being said in this about old laws.
	Shut up.
	We can't listen to the concept.
	What is that thing?
	Screw that.
	Before it's too late.
	Now, I want an update on Sophia.
	Where are we on narrowing her location in San Francisco?
	We are still waiting for her phone to be activated again.
	As soon as she makes or receives another call we'll be able to pinpoint where she is.
	In the meantime, we've mobilized a direct action unit consisting of special ops forces supported by every local law enforcement agency.
	Local law enforcement?
	No, we've had Sophia escape from under our noses before.
	I won't let that happen again.
	No more mistakes.
	I want the best on this.
	General, who are the best men you have stationed in the vicinity?
	The Marine Fourth Force Reconnaissance Company out of Alameda, sir.
	Good.
	Prepare to deploy them.
	They should provide adequate support.
	You know that I cannot do that, sir.
	The Posse-Compatitis Act prohibits the use of United States military forces on U.S. soil except for the case of a national disaster.
	Thank you, General.
	I'm well aware of federal law.
	I'm also aware that when Congress passed Posse Comitatus nearly 130 years ago, they weren't accounting for the threat we're facing right now, so don't question me.
	Just do it.
	Of course, Mr.
	President.
	So, the World Global Law enforcement with our special ops team.
	I could just see the president doing that.
	Hey, hey, that was written 130 years ago.
	Were you born then?
	No.
	No, son.
	Posse Comitatus don't count.
	Don't question me.
	Don't lecture me.
	Do as you're told.
	This guy's the president?
	Yeah.
	He's got nothing better to do than track somebody down in Alameda.
	Yeah, with the Marines.
	Do as you're told.
	Who cares about posse commentadas?
	We have a lot of these shows.
	We had it with all the right-wingers in the United States who are huge fans, especially the first couple of years of 24, which is a total off-the-reservation, let's just ad-lib, screw the Constitution, let me kill who I have to.
	It's an incredibly negative, propagandistic show.
	But it was always great.
	I mean, Rush Limbaugh was actually taken to, I think in the second or third season, taken to a screening in advance of the rollout of one of the seasons and he was just jacked up about it.
	I love it.
	It's beautiful.
	Yeah.
	No, I find it all highly...
	It works on all levels.
	Yeah, but you can't deny that that's not just propaganda.
	Oh yeah, no, totally.
	It's a modern form of brainwashing.
	It's actually very effective.
	I think it works very well, obviously, to just take a look around you.
	That is the sad part.
	I mean, I don't know.
	Anyway.
	In fact, there's an interesting meme going around if you haven't started noticing it.
	I think it was on CNN or one of the networks or maybe it was the military channel.
	I've been watching the military channel a lot.
	The Stalker, the Reagan shooting.
	There was a slew of things on news networks on Kennedy's assassination.
	This has all been in the last few weeks.
	There's been at least three, maybe four shows on this.
	On shooting presidents?
	Yeah.
	And it's very disconcerting because it seems to me as though this is some sort of setting people into a mindset, which is not a good word.
	No, it's not good.
	Wow.
	No, I haven't.
	Actually, I have.
	It's funny you say that.
	I have kind of seen a couple of these things.
	Yeah, they're all showing up at once.
	Yeah, the Reagan thing I saw.
	And they're also talking about John Lennon.
	He's also being discussed.
	And Hinckley.
	And there's been some hearings.
	And there's a couple of special deals at the Newseum, I think.
	Oh, the Newseum?
	Yeah, the CIA exhibit?
	The Newseum is something you have to pay attention to.
	Yeah, that's George Clooney's dad.
	He's big in the Newseum.
	The Newseum.
	Yeah, the Newseum is something you have to keep tabs on.
	Because what they're doing, I don't know how it's working, what the messaging is or how it's going out from there.
	But they're always doing some contemporary kind of a discussion that is sketchy.
	I did see this one clip of Gaddafi, which makes no sense playing because it's subtitled.
	And of course, I don't speak Arabic, so I have no idea if it's...
	It sounds like what he's saying.
	But he goes into this whole...
	And this is from 2000...
	Just before, I think...
	Just as Obama was elected.
	And he's talking about Obama, and he says...
	But the guy will never do what he said he's going to do because he had promised that he would look and see if Israel had weapons of mass destruction at their nuclear plant.
	What is the nuclear plant there called?
	Something with a D? I don't know.
	Yeah.
	And he says the reason why Obama started to say that but then stopped is because he took a look at what happened with JFK. He says JFK was adamant about seeing if there were nuclear weapons at the nuclear plant in Israel and then they whacked him.
	That's what Gaddafi is saying.
	And you know, A, don't argue with the...
	Where'd you get that?
	I haven't heard this one.
	Well, I'm telling you, it's what Gaddafi is saying in this subtitled video.
	Oh, okay.
	And I was like, wow, that's pretty...
	Where did you see it?
	I can tell you where I get it.
	I think Gaddafi's got a lot...
	I mean, this guy and his kids, I think they've got a lot of documentation for a lot of...
	Crazy stuff that would be interesting when it comes out.
	Well, it's also kind of no coincidence that, you know, when Qaddafi's son said, hey, you know, why don't we just show all the bank receipts for how we financed Sarkozy's campaign?
	Boom!
	Like two days later, we were attacking him.
	Yeah.
	And they turned that around quickly.
	Yeah.
	Humanitarian reasons.
	They would destroy the city.
	They weren't even near the place.
	And Le Figaro, which I would say is a reasonably reputable newspaper, no more or less reputable than the New York Times, they report...
	That was kind of a left-wing or...
	Okay, the Guardian then.
	I mean, you know, there's...
	Okay, the Guardian.
	Someone's getting paid to research something.
	Okay, the Guardian.
	The Guardian's perfect.
	Okay.
	Le Figaro claims French police officials kept a letter secret which exposed Sarkozy's past participation in espionage activities for Mossad.
	How does that?
	Does that like...
	Wow!
	That's out of left field.
	Which goes as far back as 1983.
	And it's interesting because right along with this comes my favorite, Valerie Jarrett.
	Who, once again, as I watch the West Wing Week reality show, which they should put that stuff on Bravo, they would get high ratings...
	She's there every step of the way.
	She's everywhere.
	She just makes it want to slap her.
	So she is speaking in front of, I think it's her fundraiser, a large group of a Jewish contingency.
	She's from Iran.
	She's Persian.
	She says, and by the way, you know, I have Jewish roots.
	It's like, what?
	It's like, what?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Really?
	Seems highly unlikely.
	And off the wall.
	So I think we can't discount the true issues in the Middle East in all of this.
	I'm not sure how or why.
	But there is more going on.
	And I think Sarkozy, there is something there outside of all the oil.
	Let's just look at the guy.
	I don't want to condemn just from appearances.
	Well, you can.
	I might as well.
	But I just have a feeling that somehow Sarkozy, there was a reason.
	This is the guy who called for it all.
	He said, hey, whoa, whoa, we better go in there.
	Of course.
	Yeah, make sure we burn the building with the documentation.
	Oh, yes.
	No, that's kind of handy.
	Might be one of the reasons why one of those cruise missiles hit the compound.
	Gerald Salente is kind of a crackpot, but he said something pretty funny this past week.
	When people get killed or there are strikes in Afghanistan that kill innocent people, they always use the term NATO. It's mostly the U.S. And yes, the Prime Minister of Turkey is 100% correct.
	Again, the hypocrisy is before our very own eyes.
	So all this is, is the United States doing what it's become accustomed to do.
	And that is attack any country it wants to at any time for any reason that it could make up.
	And the new reason that they made up is perfectly Orwellian, humanitarian crisis.
	So you kill people to solve a humanitarian crisis, and you take dictators out that you don't like, because really, what's behind this?
	And I've said it before.
	Would the United States be in Iraq if their major export was broccoli?
	War on broccoli, I tell ya!
	That's a great line.
	It's the war on broccoli.
	We have to stop this insanity, I tell ya.
	Stop the insanity.
	I'm gonna show my soul by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on your agenda.
	Hut, hut.
	In the morning.
	And we do want to thank some people for helping us out today.
	We already mentioned M.F. Barrow from Wiltshire.
	Yousef Manzoutamayo got kicked out of my apartment last month and I'm staying with family and friends.
	Hope to find something in Amsterdam, which is also the area I work in as a CIS admin.
	Hey, hey, hey!
	Please beam some karma my way to find the perfect place.
	You've got karma.
	Well, you'll be able to find that in Amsterdam.
	There are tons of No Agenda producers in Amsterdam who can help you out.
	Just hop into the chat room, noagendastream.com, and you'll see that there's plenty of people who can help you out.
	By the way, I wanted to mention, go back to one of our $300 donors, Jason Southwell.
	He's actually in San Pedro, Belize.
	He sent a separate note to mention that, so he's not in Pompano, wherever.
	Chris Moore in Findlay, Ohio, $64.
	Joseph Esposito, that was, by the way, from Yousef, that was $66.66.
	Joseph Esposito, Joe the Dish Slave in Stockton, California.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Hey, John and Adam, double nickels.
	As usual, to support your excellent program, I'd appreciate a mention of my podcast, The Ozone Nightmare, and some karma for my mother.
	All right, here comes some karma for Di Madre.
	You've got karma.
	And I am proudly drinking my coffee again, Joe the Dishlay, from your WITM Doug News Cup.
	Unfortunately, the coffee is empty.
	It's been that way for a while.
	That's a little production note here for the Watchtower.
	The coffee is empty?
	Yeah.
	It's key.
	It's a code word.
	Oh, you're telling your personal slave to go get coffee?
	She's going to get activated one of these days anyway and hand me the poison oyster, so she might as well get me some coffee now.
	Sir Barry Wilson, Coffs Harbor, New South Wales, $50.
	Craig Jones, Danville, Pennsylvania, $50.
	George Vanderhorst, Black Knight George.
	Here we go.
	$50.
	Joseph Gans, Wilmington, Delaware.
	It started the show.
	How about a boots on the ground phrase of sysadmin monitoring the network?
	You add that to your...
	Okay.
	I'm just admins monitoring the network.
	Admins is good.
	Peter Todes, Sugar Land, Texas.
	Ty Hibbert, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
	Fellas, can you please request Brent Bolta from Australia to donate as he introduced me to the program, but it's too tight.
	To donate himself.
	We have to call him out.
	Douchebag!
	And finally, last minute donation from Matthew McDonald who...
	Came in at $111.11.
	And he wants to throw out a birthday thing, which we have on the list for...
	We do?
	For a birthday.
	But he also wants some karma for a wedding.
	He has...
	This is his birthday.
	It was a birthday wish for Aaron Berkwin.
	Oh, got it.
	Yeah, I got that one.
	Yeah, you got that, Mel.
	But he's getting married.
	And he says Aaron...
	By the way, everyone named Aaron is quite pretty.
	It's amazing.
	LAUGHTER He wants some karma.
	Wait a minute.
	Stop.
	Everyone named Aaron, women, E-R-I-N, I presume, are quite pretty.
	I've never seen one that's not attractive.
	We're looking for the ugly Aaron.
	There might be one.
	If there isn't, I'll stop saying that.
	April 9th, they're going to get married.
	He needs some karma.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Well, we wish you guys the best in holy matrimony.
	You've got karma.
	And that's kind of a short list for our regular donors.
	And we do have a lot of...
	We want to thank everyone who gave us $33.33 on the regular $11.11 per month and all the rest of you that helped us out on this show.
	We really appreciate it.
	So if you've been listening so far into the program, and maybe your first time, maybe you came here through listening to one of the No Agenda Shots and NoAgendaShots.com, it's obvious that the things we're talking about here are not discussed in mainstream media or on our national treasure because they're all sponsored, underwritten, advertising, whatever you want to call it.
	And...
	We should mention one of our producers sent in a note, how about the Detroit Free Press, who pushed back a reporter who tried to write a negative review for the Chrysler 200.
	Well, he wrote it, but then he had to correct it.
	He wrote it, and they had to pull it.
	I guess they pulled it offline or something, because it wasn't positive about the car.
	And Detroit free press is apparently not as free as you'd like.
	This is the problem with mainstream media in general.
	And most media, especially in today's era where there's a shortage, there's not a lot of work to be had.
	And so this is the time where the advertisers, all of them, start to put the screws to people.
	And this is the kind of thing we don't have to deal with because...
	And we're not dealing with it because we're supported by you, the listener, and we really need that continued support.
	It's the only way it works.
	Value for value.
	Did you hear about that Massachusetts job fair that got canceled because there were no companies with jobs?
	I'm not kidding.
	I'm not kidding.
	A job fair got canceled because we have no people with jobs to offer.
	That's not good.
	No, no, this is not.
	And I was kind of like tossed the story away, but I mentioned it to a couple of people.
	They went, what?
	Really?
	Yeah, dude.
	In case you haven't noticed, we're in a depression.
	If you look at, there's a company, there's a newsletter out there.
	It's not that expensive.
	I think it's $175 a year for people who invest in the stock market.
	They need to look at different kinds of numbers.
	I got this recommended from Horowitz and I've subscribed to it.
	By begging for a free subscription, by the way.
	Of course.
	You're not going to pay for that.
	Yes, you're a journalist.
	So anyway, it's called Shadow Stats, and you should check it out.
	I think you should look up Shadow Stats.
	Well, get me on the list for free, dude.
	When interesting things come out, I'll let you know.
	And so the point is that they keep real unemployment records.
	Yeah, real numbers.
	They have the regular number that the government has, and then they have the old calculation that the government sometimes uses for real unemployment, which I think the official number is like 9%, and then the number of long-term unemployed I think is something like 12, 13, 14, 15%.
	But the true unemployment, based on absolute numbers of people that are actually unemployed, unemployable, and everything in between, and they've just given up, is 22.5%.
	And that's been steady for the last three or four months.
	Yeah, I feel pretty crappy for the young kids.
	Yeah, most of them have given up.
	No, they have.
	They're living at home.
	Or worse, they've got their own place that we're paying for.
	Yeah, exactly.
	All right, so the place to support us with your giving levels, remember we've got the Triad, the 300 Club, our big 300 coming up.
	There are even a couple of calls for your birthday, John, which I thought was interesting.
	Mickey also suggested this.
	I said, no, screw that.
	Yeah, if you want to give extra money for Dvorak's birthday on April 5th.
	Yeah.
	Then that'll help too.
	But I mean, we didn't do this for my birthday.
	Well, Mickey wasn't thinking about you.
	My Mickey wasn't thinking about me.
	She doesn't love me as much as she loves you.
	All right.
	Happy birthday.
	Shout out to Jeffrey Pesito.
	Turns 33 tomorrow.
	M.F. Barrow, of course, says happy birthday to her husband, Beat, Brian Barrow.
	Andrew Sawyer turns 25 today.
	And then Erin Bergwin, she turned 28 last Thursday.
	And, of course, she'll be entering wedlock on April 9th with Matthew.
	So happy birthday to you from all of your buddies here at the No Agenda Show.
	Squirrel!
	So if you want to help the show, there's only one place you need to go.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Or, of course, channeldvorak.com slash NA or noagendanation.com.
	And, of course, you can always find these links at the show, noagendashow.com.
	Or just Google No Agenda.
	We own the first page.
	At least we still do.
	Actually, four pages.
	I'm very worried though.
	Google is...
	I find when I'm looking for information, Google has become pretty much unusable.
	Just useless.
	I mean, you Google for anything and you just get pages of crap.
	You might as well just hit page 10.
	Right off the bat.
	Actually, that's amusing because I have done that.
	Yeah, no, you have to do it because if you want actual information, you know, besides something, no matter what you Google, like yesterday I was trying to figure out how to copy files from the ReadyNAS Duo, forget about the technical part of it, onto a USB drive.
	So I literally say, how to copy files from ReadyNAS Duo to external USB drive.
	You get pages and pages of advertisements for this box, which I already have.
	I'm not interested in that.
	It's very, very hard to get actual information.
	Forget actual news information.
	It's not there.
	They just don't help you out anymore.
	I don't blame Google as much as I blame the guys who spend all their time, all their waking hours, and you know who they are.
	We know these people personally.
	All their waking hours trying to game the system.
	Right.
	Yeah, well, of course.
	And there's more people, if you look at, as many people as Google has working there, if you look at group, you know, the kind of crowdsourcing, the number of people that the public has working to game the system is so, it's just in the millions.
	You can't have enough people to fight this.
	Search engine optimization.
	Scam.
	So I'm just saying that, hoping that Google hears it and says, okay, we'll let these guys slide another week.
	Yeah, but it's...
	There was no agenda.
	Hey, hey, they're making money.
	We're not getting our cut.
	That's what it is.
	That's what it'll come down to.
	Because they let JCPenney slide.
	JCPenney, one of the top ten advertisers, spending $2 million a month.
	You know, they let them slide until someone said, hey, you know, this is really bogus.
	And they had to cut them off.
	But they'll be right back up.
	It's a scam.
	You know, anyway.
	I think we need to pull out some blades.
	You got your blade there, John?
	There it is.
	All right.
	Mickey Kennedy and Astrid Klein, please step forward.
	Thanks to sufficient giving levels, you both can now, well, Dame Astrid, we're pretty sure you already were a dame, but we're going to dame you anyway, thanks to your husband-slash-partner, Mark, and Mickey Kennedy.
	Both of you, $1,000, which means you are now Sir Mickey Kennedy, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable, and Dame Astrid, Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable.
	Please enjoy our Rent Boys and Cabernet, and our Hookers and Blow, whatever you want, if you just need some Tinker Toys, they're there as well.
	And I want to read from a note I got from Greg Brunsell, who says he's working on a night layaway plan, but very interested in the 300 Club since receiving his tax refund, and we recommend everyone who gets their tax refund to help us out.
	One thing I found exceptionally exciting from the last show is John mentioned someone being knighted that day will receive a ring.
	Are you still giving rings to all the knights of the No Agenda Roundtable?
	Answer is yes.
	Yeah, word up with it.
	Where are they?
	Well, they're coming in April.
	They've been ordered, right?
	They're already ordered.
	They're being manufactured.
	And they're paid for.
	We already paid half?
	They're paid.
	Cool.
	Yeah, because we keep track of our finances.
	I mean, there's one thing people don't know about.
	We saved for it.
	We saved for it.
	We did.
	We saved for it in a special account.
	I was under the idea that there was a limited number of rings and only the first few hundred or so nights would receive.
	No.
	No.
	Every night.
	It's a part of the deal.
	It may be a second version eventually, but right now they all get this one, the first round.
	If there's a possibility I could get a ring, I would definitely light a fire under my behind.
	And I would probably do the same for many others.
	If all nights you still receive a ring, do you really need to stress it on the show?
	Or you really need to stress it on the show?
	Okay, we just did.
	Like I said, I figured I missed a ring on the show.
	And we will not, repeat, will not sell or do, I mean, these rings are for nights only.
	There will be no other ring premium anywhere.
	No rings.
	No, no rings for anything.
	But he also wants to know if there's more 10-10-10 coins, he needs to know about that.
	If you have any questions about coins, surplus coins, extra coins, coins that weren't fulfilled, 10-10-10 or otherwise, get a hold of Eric the Shill at Eric.
	No, it's shill at noagendanation.com.
	Chill at noagendanation.com and he'll let you know.
	I think there's a few 1010 coins left.
	So some interesting research dug up by one of our producers out there in Gitmo Nation, John, about 611 Folsom Street, which we talked about a week ago.
	611 Folsom Street, this big, ominous, windowless building in San Francisco that you walk by every single day.
	Yeah, the NSA building.
	Hello, darling.
	Oh, you were Skyping?
	Yeah.
	With your handler?
	Yeah.
	Your handler.
	Hey, hey, hey, hey!
	I want to see you drink some of that coffee before you give it to me.
	Well, maybe you're activated.
	I don't want you poisoning me on the show.
	She does look a little like a fembot.
	Oh, dude.
	Kind of tall, well-built.
	No, she's like Angelina Jolie in Salt.
	She'll turn on me in a second.
	I'm all sexy and hot and stuff, and then all of a sudden, my neck's broken.
	You laugh about it.
	You laugh, you laugh.
	Or some unfortunate hot tub accident while on our Hot Pockets tour.
	While the lid was on.
	Alright, so 611 Folsom Street is, now we know that there's a fiber tap in there.
	This has all been admitted.
	We talked about it on the last show.
	Which goes directly to the NS, actually to MI6, because the U.S. government can't spy on you, but they can just tap that off, right off to the MI6 there in the Gitmo Nation East, and they spy on us.
	I mean, they could just as soon spy on us, but they don't want to end up in a situation where they have to give testimony that they're doing it.
	Right.
	Yeah, we had nothing to do with it.
	But there's a number of other...
	If you Google this, if you Google 611 Folsom Street, San Francisco, it gives you selected businesses at this address.
	Oh, this is interesting.
	Yes.
	Let me give you...
	This is great already.
	Yeah, so let me give you a couple.
	There's obvious Level 3 Communications, Pacific Towing, of course the, what are those guys named, the big construction company?
	I'm looking forward to hearing on the list.
	Anyway, Rand Global Inc., so the Rand Corporation is in there.
	San Francisco Airport Transportation.
	Then we have Level 3, I think I mentioned that.
	We have Mr.
	Mystic.
	It is at 611 Folsom.
	And my favorite, Exotic Escorts.
	Oh.
	What a coincidence.
	No service for you!
	I'm sorry, I meant to hit this one.
	I think not.
	Ken Smith Photography, Moss Beach Ranch.
	But what is Mr.
	Mystic?
	Mr.
	Mystic.
	Mr.
	Mystic.
	So these are actual businesses listed at this address.
	I mean, how does that work?
	What's Planet 3 doing there?
	What are they?
	So what's MrMystic.com?
	A rollercoaster ride of non-stop hilarious action and adventure.
	Hmm.
	He was on American Idol, Mr.
	Mystic.
	Okay.
	But then exotic escorts?
	Really?
	You know, so I would say we have to be kind of careful about who we do business with based upon their address.
	Oh, WebCore, that's the big construction guy.
	So they're all in this.
	These are the companies to stay away from.
	Mr.
	Mystic.
	I don't think you could get into that building as a business unless you were cleared.
	That's what I mean.
	It's like a data center?
	Is it like rack spaces in there?
	What's the deal?
	Exotic escorts.
	So, there you go.
	I bet you that...
	Who was the attorney general who was banging the $5,000 night hookers?
	Spitzer?
	He was probably from exotic escorts.
	Well, you're definitely going to be in somebody's database if you're working at anything out of that building.
	It's just crazy.
	It'll be fine.
	We should make that a special segment of the show.
	What other businesses are at 611 Folsom?
	Or any other nefarious address will do, of course.
	And now, back to Real News.
	So, of course, we know we've got the big album out for Japan Relief with 38 tracks, including I Was Born This Way by Lady Gaga.
	Very appropriate.
	I think you called the Lady Gaga thing.
	Yeah, I said if Lady Gaga's in, then we can look forward to the telethon.
	So that's on the way.
	But this is my favorite.
	I've got a Hollywood Whackers thing, and I've got this.
	The Las Vegas deputy district attorney who prosecuted Paris Hilton for cocaine possession was arrested over the weekend, John, after buying rock cocaine.
	What?
	Yeah.
	He was arrested for buying cocaine.
	And he's the guy that prosecuted Paris Hilton.
	Well, this is fishy.
	So I thought that was pretty funny.
	And then this one is from the Hollywood Whackers file.
	Has the guy said anything?
	Has he made a statement?
	No, he's been arrested.
	I don't think he can make any statement yet.
	He's in the slammer.
	The big house.
	He's done.
	Wow.
	How did I miss that?
	I'll give you a 10 for that one.
	I missed that one completely.
	Gee, how did you miss it?
	Ooh, boy.
	Maybe you were watching a C-SPAN book show.
	All day.
	It makes us the most unattractive men in the universe, I tell you.
	I've watched C-SPAN for a living.
	Which is, of course, exactly...
	Can I buy you a drink?
	Come here often?
	What do you do?
	I'm going to start doing...
	When people say, what do you do?
	I'm going to say, I watch C-SPAN for a living.
	Can I buy you a drink?
	Orange juice, perhaps?
	Alan Horn.
	You may not know this name, but he has been kind of the godfather of Warner Brothers for the past 12 years.
	And he is, of course, responsible for...
	I mean, they're the number one studio.
	Thank you, darling.
	Stroke Waffles.
	Hey, thank you.
	They are the number one studio.
	Have been for the past three years.
	Perfect Storm, 300, The Departed, Happy Feet, Ocean's Eleven, Sherlock Holmes, Million Dollar Baby, Dark Knight, Harry Potter, of course.
	So he's been pushed out by...
	Why?
	Why?
	Well, so we don't know exactly why, but I was reading this in the New York Times.
	And it was exactly the language that I thought was interesting because, you know, we talk about this being one big mafia business.
	And so this is New York Times reporting.
	One of the long-standing codes of the movie business involves longevity and loyalty.
	Once you're a made man, to use the mafia term adopted by film folk, you're allowed to write your own ticket for nearly as long as you want.
	Perhaps eventually you get a discreet nudge to step aside or move into a chairman emeritus type of position, all the while you are treated with deep respect.
	And so he's getting, he's like, it's the equivalent of getting whacked.
	They didn't actually whack him, but they still might.
	But he's moving out.
	They're going to have like three guys moving in with the office of the president or some bull crap like that.
	So you can just predict that Warner Brothers is going down now.
	Because this guy is out.
	But, I mean, that just kind of proves the point that this is one big mafioso business.
	They actually talk about it like they're mafia.
	I wonder what he did that got them out.
	I don't know.
	Maybe he whacked Ronnie Chasen.
	Who knows?
	That can happen, right?
	If you whack a lieutenant from the other team.
	I don't know.
	Something.
	A couple of don't look over here moments.
	We now have in Europe a European banking authority.
	And no one is talking about this.
	And they will be now in charge of all of the banks.
	And this is the reason the Swiss decided not to go into the EU. Exactly.
	So it's not even a news release.
	But they have a guy, a guter lander from the lowlands, Arnaud Fossum.
	Who is now Secretary General of the European Banking Authority.
	Stationed in the City of London, which of course is not part of the European Union.
	It's its own little entity there.
	And it will be coordinating everything between the banks.
	Coordinating everything.
	And so that's a don't look over here moment.
	Meanwhile, while we're...
	I think...
	Oh, wait, is it Monday?
	Yeah!
	Well, this makes sense.
	What did I say on the last show about the Federal Reserve?
	I said they had four more days to hand out the list with all the information about who they gave money to, that they lost their appeal.
	Yeah.
	So what else is happening on Monday?
	Well, Obama's going to speak.
	Yeah, Obama's going to speak.
	So it'll be snowed under.
	We won't hear about it, but we'll be looking for it.
	And meanwhile, the Fed has now said, oh, we're going to do periodic news conferences.
	So it means they have to lie more often.
	So now starting April 27th, they're going to do periodic news conferences about how things are going.
	But Monday, while everyone's looking at the president, we'll be looking at this information from the federal government.
	You know, I wonder, you know, we played that clip in the last show of that conservative member from the U.K. who's a member of the European Parliament saying that the U.K., at least the conservative branch, is going to try to get them to leave the E.U., And, you know, get England out.
	Uh-huh.
	Because it's not a benefit to them.
	I wonder if that's going to, if they don't do that sooner than later, that it becomes kind of like something that happened with the United States when South Carolina wanted to secede from the Union, which they were actually, I think, technically allowed to do, but they started the Civil War, which federalized the entire country.
	And let's face it, that kind of sucked.
	It wasn't a good war for us.
	We lost 4 million people.
	I think it was terrible.
	We got some great movies out of it.
	You think it would trigger a civil war within the EU and we'd have to actually get involved?
	Obviously, we'd have to take England's side, but would we or what would happen if the EU decided to declare martial law in the UK and then take over the place?
	Could they do it?
	You think they'd pull it off?
	Well, it's interesting you bring that up because I do have two clips from our friend, Mr.
	Farage, Nigel.
	Yeah, he's the one.
	He's actually instigating this.
	Yes.
	Well, let's listen to him.
	I love this guy.
	Okay, so this is...
	Unfortunately, these are not clips of him in Parliament at Starfleet Command there.
	But this is him on Russia Today.
	And, you know, the guy actually...
	He's...
	He's probably programmed for all we know, but he sounds like such a trained news reporter.
	He's actually responding to the interviewer as if he was a war correspondent on the ground.
	And let's face it, he basically is a war correspondent at Starfleet Command in Brussels.
	The European Council President Herman Van Rompuy pointed out earlier today that the EU is primarily aiming at ousting Gaddafi.
	Now, that's not what the UN resolution indicates.
	Do you think the EU is on a collision course with the UN here, perhaps?
	I was very shocked, and I've just been to a private meeting with him, of seven of us from the European Parliament, where he repeated that.
	So it's perfectly clear that as far as Rumpur is concerned, regime change is why we're involved in Libya.
	What was also surprising was that we'd all seen it to begin with as France...
	Britain and America getting involved in this and it now coming under this morning a NATO umbrella.
	But what Van Rompuy made clear was that those countries would not and in fact could not have gone to war in Libya without the European Council approving it.
	So what Van Rompuy is saying is that it's the EU as much as anybody else that has started off this war and that the aim is to topple Gaddafi and I would have thought that that does go against UN Resolution 1973 and I see it as a very surprising development.
	So...
	So he's kind of like telling us nothing new there.
	By the way, you're right.
	He does sound like a foreign correspondent.
	Yeah, no, and it gets even better now in this next segment, which is kind of, he brings out, he rolls out the humor here, which we love him so much for.
	I don't believe there's any support for another ground offensive, and certainly if I talk about British public opinion, you know, we've been told by the Armed Forces Minister, Nick Harvey, in response to a question, what is the length of our commitment?
	He replied, how long is a piece of string?
	How long is a piece of string?
	I love that.
	How long was a piece of string?
	What does that even mean?
	Goodness me, we've had British troops on the ground in Afghanistan now for over ten years.
	I don't think there's any appetite for us getting involved in foreign wars where we cannot directly see our own national interests being threatened and where, frankly, if we go in to support the rebels, we don't even know who they are.
	He just confirms everything.
	But I think he's programmed.
	I really do.
	I mean, he's on someone's side, and it's probably closer to ours, but he's not our friend, really.
	Probably not.
	We have to assume not.
	I mean, there's no evidence of one way or the other, but you have to make the assumption, because who else would...
	It just doesn't make sense otherwise.
	He has to be part of something.
	Well, he has to be part of something.
	Well, you know, otherwise he would have more plane accidents.
	So Warren Buffett, I think, probably...
	Most interesting guy to listen to, although it's painful because it takes him forever to say something.
	The guy can't talk anymore.
	But he ran away from Goldman Sachs.
	Did you read this?
	This is pretty funny.
	Of course, he lent Goldman Sachs $5 billion, and the VIG on that is like $1.4 million a day he makes from that in interest payments.
	But of course, eventually, it's a marker.
	Goldman Sachs is able to buy it back.
	And so what's the guy there, the head honcho at Goldman Sachs, and this is all in the news, called up Warren and said, dude, it's time.
	And he's actually, I don't have this on a clip, but he actually is saying that Lloyd, blank flying, called him up and said, hey, Warren, it's time to give the $5 billion back.
	And that he then went, Warren's not here right now.
	Please leave a message at the sound of the beep.
	And then he left.
	He's in India.
	And he's in the news saying, yeah, if he can find me, he can have his $5 billion back.
	Now, of course, he's jesting, but he did come out and he said, yeah, the euro could fall apart.
	He says, it's not going to be simple, but he kind of is agreeing with your civil war theory, John.
	You want to hear this?
	It's a little painful, but I think it's worth it because this is, of course, the Oracle of Omaha.
	There are huge, powerful interests that keep that from happening, but enough of a strain could cause it to fall apart.
	I know some people think it's unthinkable.
	I don't think it's unthinkable.
	I think there will be huge efforts put forth to keep that from happening.
	What, the collapse of the euro?
	Yeah, the disintegration of the euro in some way.
	And frankly, I don't know how you take it apart.
	That's another question.
	But you can't have...
	Three or four or five countries that are in effect free-riding on the other countries.
	That won't work over time.
	They have to get the fiscal houses in reasonable harmony.
	And incidentally, originally, I think if you ran more than a 3% deficit, there were supposed to be sanctions of one sort or another, and then they started getting ignored, and then people went their own way.
	And by the way, the human resources in countries in Europe, they're saying this, like, hey, Hey, hey, hey, how come we have to have austerity measures for those lazy Greek guys?
	This is literally what people on the street are saying.
	And I would be saying it too.
	Of course you would be, and you will be when California goes broke.
	Well, no, you're in California, I'm sorry.
	Other people will be going, hey, hey, hey, hey, I live in Texas, why do I have to pay for those elitist Californians?
	What kind of exposure does Berkshire have if the worst case scenario can happen?
	Well, sorry, I have a strobe Waffleette in my mouth.
	What are you eating?
	A strobe waffle!
	Mickey has little strobe waffles now.
	Don't they get stale after a while?
	I don't care.
	They're worth it.
	Stale strobe waffle is better than no strobe waffle.
	These are little ones.
	Little discs.
	Little mini strobe waffleettes.
	Anyway, of course Buffett is betting against the Euro.
	Duh!
	Well, I don't regard it as Europe falling apart.
	The factories don't disappear.
	The workers don't lose their skills.
	I love this.
	Hey, we'll still have slaves.
	That's essentially what he's saying.
	Hey, don't worry about it.
	We'll still have slaves.
	It's cool.
	Don't worry about that.
	We'll have factories to put them in and put them to work and they still have their skills of walking and moving a point and they can still walk and talk and show up.
	Twist the knob.
	Notice he doesn't say we'll have academics and brilliant people and explorers and scientists.
	No, we'll still have basic human resources.
	And fragile things.
	For centuries.
	I mean, we've had our own problems with currencies over time.
	But lots of countries have had, I mean, Brazil had a currency that went to zero several times in the last century.
	So it does not destroy a country to have currency problems.
	It does mean they have to get their house in order in certain ways.
	And the IMF has helped do that.
	Well, you know, we just left South Korea and they were having problems in the late 1990s.
	And they're booming now.
	So it isn't the end of the world.
	But it would be a lot of adjustment needed if the euro proved to be in real trouble.
	Some adjustment will be needed, John.
	So he's pushing...
	This is a very interesting clip to me because I've been wondering when this is going to happen.
	Here he is.
	The fact that the euro is extremely inflated.
	It's a buck forty plus, I think, as we speak.
	I think it's even more than that, isn't it?
	I think it's like the last time I looked it was $1.42, which is way too high.
	And it's killing their exports.
	It's actually not a good thing to have your money that's so out of whack.
	And the Japanese, for example, have their money.
	It's completely screwed, screwing them.
	But we're like encouraging it in some ways because it keeps our exports, you know, for one thing, it makes our Boeing jets a lot cheaper.
	You know, compared to an Airbus.
	It's $1.40.
	I mean, this is a...
	Yeah, it's 40% discount.
	Yeah.
	And so it's like a deal.
	I mean, it's like, you know, it's ridiculously cheap by comparison.
	And it keeps tourists coming in the United States and keeps our people, you know, enslaved within the borders.
	And we can't, because you go to Europe and it's like, holy crap, what happened to my money?
	And really, that's what happened.
	And when you're in England, you feel it somehow being sucked out.
	In fact, that was, my money was stolen is how bad it was.
	Right.
	It just disappears.
	So anyway, but Buffett coming out like this, just two things.
	One, I'm pretty sure, because Gates some years back when the dollar, when the year was 80 cents, as opposed to about 40, which is when we should have bought those Paris apartments when we had money.
	Yeah, back in the day.
	Back in the day.
	That's when Gates kind of came out, and Bill said that he was getting out of the dollar.
	I wrote a column about this, complaining that he's unpatriotic to do this, but at least to make these public assertions, that he's getting the dollars weak, and he indicated he's going into euros.
	I'm absolutely sure that Buffett's the one who triggered this in him, because why would he care about moving money from dollars to euros?
	And now that Buffett is switching his sides, because they run it up, Which is they've run it up well.
	And Buffett wants to, you know, this means that Gates will be out too.
	So we're talking about huge piles of money just to begin with.
	This could be the beginning of the end for the euro.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	I mean, even for him to be hemming and hawing about this is enough.
	Hey, people listen to Warren Buffett like...
	Oh, yeah.
	Like he's the messiah.
	There's another 40 seconds of him.
	Let's listen to...
	Yeah, play it.
	...trouble in terms of his acceptance throughout all the countries that are now involved.
	There'd be a lot of investors who'd be in deep, deep danger.
	It could be.
	It could be.
	But it...
	Who knows if you broke up the euro exactly what the separate currencies would sell for.
	But I... I don't want to be playing that game.
	I don't know myself, so I'll stick to the games that I understand.
	Right.
	It's an interesting...
	Homie, don't play that!
	We're watching an interesting play.
	Play.
	It's an interesting play.
	It's an interesting play.
	But do you hear how he says it?
	He doesn't say it like it's a play on words or like it's a technology play.
	He says it's an interesting play.
	Like he's watching Spider-Man on Broadway.
	He's literally saying play, I believe, as in play like a scripted thing that's being set up.
	Right.
	I don't want to be playing that game.
	I don't know myself, so I'll stick to the games that I understand.
	It's an interesting...
	We're watching an interesting play.
	See, we're watching an interesting play.
	I mean, isn't he just saying it right there?
	Am I deaf here?
	Am I crazy?
	Well, I mean, if you're going to take him literally, and there's no reason not to...
	Yeah, that's exactly what he's saying.
	I didn't know about Portugal today, but what Portugal does affects the behavior of somebody else.
	And if a country can get by with very unbalanced fiscal policy and get bailed out by the others, that tends to reward bad behavior.
	On the other hand, if they come down hard on them...
	The populace may behave as apparently they did it from what you're telling me.
	The populace, you mean like the slaves will revolt, Warren?
	Is that what you're trying to say?
	Yes!
	He's like the populace.
	You know the thing I've got to reduce?
	The populace.
	New World Order creep.
	That's a good clip.
	Yeah, he's creepy though.
	He creeps me out.
	Yeah, he's in Omaha.
	I've got a feeling he might be part of the pedo bear scandal.
	He looks like it.
	I doubt it.
	He's too busy in the West Coast.
	Well, he's 70.
	He's in his 70-year cycle.
	Meanwhile, back here at home, why the young people are not out with sticks and machetes and shotguns on the streets when you hear that not only did General Electric not pay any tax...
	On profits of $14.2 billion, but they actually got a refund of $3.2 billion.
	I mean, hello?
	Hello?
	Maybe you got to...
	Hello, children of America.
	Maybe they don't understand me.
	Maybe I got to overmodulate.
	This is crazy.
	And no one's angry.
	Well, when we play the end of show clip with Fine, he discusses the lack of...
	He probably doesn't care.
	He mentions, you know, as somebody once says, when you have a nation of sheep, you end up with a government of wolves.
	What is...
	Let me cue that clip up.
	Oh, here it is.
	We the people end of show clip.
	I'll make sure I have that one set and good together.
	I've got a couple of miscellaneous clips we can play.
	Yeah, sure.
	There's one that's kind of – it caught my attention.
	It's kind of interesting.
	It's a guy who's a professor who's been studying Bin Laden's videos and audio tapes.
	Oh, yeah, to spot the differences?
	Yeah, to see who's what and, you know, he's trying – yeah, that and some other – but he makes some interesting observations that I thought – Yeah, they kind of play into some of our memes and some of our themes, and they're remotely interesting.
	And I should mention that I don't think it would be that hard to do an audio nowadays with the kind of gear you can buy, we can buy.
	Adam and I both know a lot about this stuff, and I've been to enough audio recording places.
	There's enough gear out there where you could take somebody's voice print and superimpose it on anything.
	And that's not even the CSI stuff.
	It's not even that hard.
	No.
	And it's like very easy to do.
	But this guy, the professor in Bin Laden clip, which is on a show that was on the military channel, which I really find a very enjoyable channel to watch.
	Yeah.
	Real, I seriously do.
	I think it's outstanding programming.
	It's all about guns and shooting.
	Do they have reality shows?
	We could do a reality show for the military channel.
	Do they have one?
	Do they have a reality show?
	No, they should, but it was an investigative report called Why Is Bin Laden Alive?
	Hot milks in the military.
	And half of it implies that he's not.
	This little clip I just thought was interesting out of the blue.
	And they're a hugely successful form of propaganda for Al-Qaeda.
	One man has studied them closely for clues.
	Bruce Lawrence is professor of religion at Duke University in North Carolina.
	He says that Bin Laden wants to mobilize every Muslim into action in a war against what he terms infidels.
	The key theme for Bin Laden is, first of all, the humiliation of the present-day Ummah, or Muslim world.
	His constant theme is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, your lives for our lives.
	If you attack us, we attack you.
	Professor Lawrence is convinced that some Bin Laden statements are not authentic, and he singles out the confession tape released by the Pentagon in December 2001.
	I have absolutely no doubt it's a fake.
	This notion of confessing that he's the one who...
	That is inconsistent with the Bin Laden I know from his earlier and also his later messages.
	You never have him directly admitting that he did it.
	But the big question for Professor Lawrence is why have we not seen more of Bin Laden speaking?
	If he is alive, and he has been someone who likes to be in the spotlight, if that's the case, why would he not be visible?
	Why would he not have had a videotape rather than an audio tape since his nearest contemporary, Ayman Azawahdi, regularly appears on videotapes?
	I think that question has not been answered.
	Not satisfied.
	Duh.
	Well, we know why.
	Because he is dead, and Anwar al-Awlaki is a CIA asset who spoke at the Pentagon luncheon brunch after 9-11.
	And he's the new hero.
	He's the new guy.
	I tell people this when they find out what I do and I say, I watch C-SPAN. What do you tell them you do?
	I watch C-SPAN for a living.
	Do you want a drink?
	What do you tell people you do?
	Can I buy you a drink?
	I watch C-SPAN for a living.
	Can I buy you a drink?
	What do you tell people you do?
	What do you say?
	I'm a writer.
	You're a writer.
	What should I say?
	You watch C-SPAN for a living?
	Can I buy you a drink?
	You got it.
	I always say I'm a media assassin.
	That's good.
	Media assassin's good.
	That's usually when they back up half a pace.
	But I do hand out the no agenda business card.
	I don't have a no agenda business card.
	Well, you have to wait until you get one of those solicitations from Vistaprint.
	Oh, right.
	And I get a free one.
	And they tell you, here's a free one.
	But you got to be careful.
	You got to, like...
	Kind of tease them.
	You've got to buy some cheap thing from them, and then they'll send you a thing.
	You can have this for free, that for free, and you get a bunch of stuff for free without their advertising on it.
	So whenever I tell people, hey, Anwar Al-Awlaki, you know, he's the new guy.
	I say, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's American.
	I say, yeah, he is.
	And he spoke at a Pentagon brunch right after 9-11.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	He was born in Arizona?
	Oh, they know that, kind of.
	He's a homegrown terrorist.
	It's amazing.
	We had him.
	We had him in our grasp, and we let him slip away.
	Or perhaps there's something else going on.
	People are so stupid.
	Anyway, I got a couple things.
	Actually, some information that came in through the emails from Justin.
	Adam, I've been taking Allegra my whole life.
	I have never heard that you can't take it with juice.
	I've taken it with juice before and have not felt more allergies or less allergies.
	Also, the advertisement made it seem like when you take Allegra, you can't have juice at all, which is total BS. This is all due to the fact that Allegra can't be bought over the counter now.
	Ah!
	Here you go.
	This is what we didn't know, John.
	I used to pay $40 for $30.
	Now I can get $90 for $39.
	Just thought I would send my knowledge of the drug.
	Thanks for all you do.
	I guess this is a setup with the Allegra drug.
	And then...
	What do I have here?
	I didn't understand whether you said it's an over-the-counter drug now or it's not.
	It's not.
	It's no longer...
	Well, maybe I misread it.
	Let me just check.
	Because it sounds like now it's just over...
	Oh, it can be bought over the counter now.
	I'm sorry.
	In other words, you just buy it.
	Yeah.
	You don't have to get a prescription, so it's cheaper.
	Right.
	Yeah, a lot of...
	Well, that's what happens just before these drugs go public domain.
	Out of patent.
	Then all of a sudden it's like, oh, it's good.
	You can just get it without a prescription.
	Yeah, and now it's like 10 cents.
	Right.
	Yeah, of course.
	And they're still making money.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Yeah.
	Interesting little fact, Adam.
	FedEx made my friend, who was a driver for FedEx, sign a contract that he would not take Shantix while employed with the company.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Those FedEx guys are ahead of the curve.
	Yeah, because they know.
	They know that people go wacky and start killing people.
	Then I have all stuff in the show notes you should take a look at.
	Britain may raise its carbon tax to maintain the EU premium, says Citigroup.
	So the carbon tax is now completely in.
	It's in in the United States of Europe.
	Remember our friend, Miss Connie Hedegaard, she says, I aim to ban the use of tar sands and oil shale.
	Which is great because that will really do a lot for the price of your petrol.
	And my favorite celebrity ambassador story, if you haven't followed this one, Madonna had set up this foundation to build a school for girls in Malawi where she stole those children.
	Remember she got all those kids from there?
	She bought a couple of kids.
	For her entourage.
	She bought a couple kids, and she set up this foundation.
	It was supposed to build this school, and so apparently, I guess it was...
	This was the make good deal that she had to do because she was getting a lot of bad PR. Right.
	So the whole foundation has fallen apart.
	Apparently, Tracy Anderson, who is...
	Madonna's former trainer boyfriend was running the foundation there and he had golf memberships, cars with drivers, all kinds of stuff and then they couldn't raise the money because they needed $15 million.
	They spent $3.8 million.
	The whole thing is now bankrupt, falling apart.
	Kaput.
	No school.
	And this guy just was running around playing golf.
	Another fine celebrity story.
	It's classic.
	You've got to love it.
	Some movie TV PR. We finally know why the foots have been washing up on the oceans.
	It's finally here.
	And you can watch April 7th on the next episode of Bones...
	Seven pairs of dismembered feet wash ashore after a recent flood on the U.S.-Canada border.
	But things don't add up when six pairs of feet are identified as research corpses from a nearby university body farm.
	Huh.
	When's the date on this episode?
	April 7th.
	So it's next week.
	Needy likes watching that show.
	Yeah, so she should watch that.
	And Bank of America got hacked.
	Kind of underreported.
	Thousands of customers.
	Surprises reported at all.
	Yeah, thousands of customers apparently showed up and were like, well, yeah, everyone's accounts have been blocked.
	It's very embarrassing.
	Yeah, they're not quite sure exactly the extent of it, but it seems like money was taken out of accounts, and it was a good hack, but we're never going to hear the end of it, obviously.
	We'll never know exactly what's going to happen.
	We're never going to hear the resolution.
	The resolution, yeah.
	And we have one of these for you.
	Shadow Puppet Theater!
	Wow, it's always fun when you see who's coming into the Obama administration.
	This has got to be one of my favorites.
	The newest appointee...
	Let me see, it's a task force.
	The newest...
	Salon, why do you have all these pop-up ads?
	I hate you for that.
	Okay, Dr.
	Larry James...
	Any idea who he is, John?
	A member of the James Gang?
	No, not of the James Gang.
	Dr.
	Larry James has been announced with great pride, of course, from our Presidente.
	He's been selected to serve on the White House Task Force, known as Enhancing the Psychological Well-Being of the Military Family.
	The task force for this, and the President is very proud that he has put Mr.
	James on this task force.
	Now, what was Mr.
	James doing prior to this?
	He's a retired Army colonel.
	He was the chief psychologist at Guantanamo.
	And he served in 2004 in the same position at Abu Ghraib.
	Another fine selection by Mr.
	Obama.
	By Professor Obama.
	You just can't make it up, John.
	I don't know how to do it.
	You can't make it up.
	It's hilarious.
	That is funny.
	That's a good one.
	Yeah.
	And it's kind of predicted, although to me this is not like, wow, look, we predicted it and here it is, but we might as well play the new IBM Watson commercial.
	One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas.
	How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.
	Real language is filled with nuance, slang, and metaphor.
	It's more than half the world's data, but computers couldn't understand it.
	Watson is a computer that uncovers meaning in our language and pinpoints the right answer instantly.
	It uses deep analytics to answer questions computers never could before, even the ones on Jeopardy.
	That's what I'm working on.
	I'm an IBMer.
	Let's build a smarter planet.
	And the whole commercial is overlaid with all the great things Watson is going to be doing for you as we build a smarter planet with Watson at the center of it.
	You can wait for it so now it's in medical research because it can answer questions like the ones on Jeopardy.
	Answer questions that people can't.
	And next on Docket, as these tenders are now being put out, Watson will prove to us that climate disruption is real.
	How's Watson going to prove anything to us?
	Because he'd won Jeopardy!
	All he can do is answer questions that are fixed questions.
	He can't do analysis.
	When you win Jeopardy!
	When did he start doing analysis?
	When you win Jeopardy!
	That's it!
	Don't you understand?
	There's nothing left!
	I haven't heard this part about this program.
	It's a look-up program.
	It looks stuff up.
	It analyzes the question and then looks something up.
	The analysis is in the front end, not the back end.
	So now when did it start doing analysis?
	You heard it.
	It does deep analytics.
	Bull crap.
	And then there's, I don't think we should play the clip.
	IBM should be ashamed of it.
	Yeah, well, IBM's not ashamed because they built machines to identify Jews in World War II. They don't give a crap.
	Your friend investigated all that.
	Yep.
	Ed Black.
	Ed Black.
	He investigated that.
	What was the name of that machine?
	The Jew-killing machine, I think it was called.
	It was a hollerist card sorter.
	Yeah.
	Hey, let me sort some cards, Jew.
	Non-Jew.
	It was from the logistics.
	There was a logistics machine.
	That's what they do.
	It's ERP. Exactly.
	Enterprise Resource Planning.
	Early ERP. Very early ERP. IBM doesn't give a crap.
	So I'm not going to play this clip, but there's a big brouhaha in the Olympic Committee.
	Oh, let's save that for the next show.
	Yeah, I can just tell you what it is briefly because no one will talk about it except us.
	But the deal was that the revenue, the profits of the Olympics would go to the British Olympic Committee and But only after the Paralympics, which of course costs a lot of money.
	It's not like the Paralympics are on TV. There's no big contracts for that.
	So part of the revenue for the Paralympics has to come from the profits from the regular Olympics.
	And then the London Olympic Committee...
	What's the Paralympics?
	It's the Disabled Olympics.
	Or Special Olympics, I should say.
	Let's not get any political correctness going.
	You know that you've got the Olympics, like huge television contracts and Pepsi and everyone's all over it.
	And then you get the Paralympics like, oh, that's so cute.
	And you get like a little blurb on a little ditty in the news and that's about it.
	So there's no big contracts.
	So the deal was that that had to be financed out of London's take for the big Olympics.
	And London is now saying two directors have been kicked off the board.
	Well, not kicked off the board, but they can't vote now.
	They've been demoted, denounced.
	They were saying, yeah, we really want to have that money before the Paralympics because we're like running a little bit short on this whole deal.
	And so there's like this huge elitist brouhaha.
	And of course, it's not going to be reported because everyone still thinks that it's like a big kumbaya, the Olympics, where they're really being screwed and it's a big money rape, particularly if East London, you're being raped and you'll be paying for that for years.
	You can look forward to that.
	In the show notes, noagendashow.com.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	You got anything else, John, before we wrap this up?
	I don't have anything important.
	Stuff can wait.
	Maybe just a funny one.
	I have a funny one.
	Gingers is full of crap.
	Well, is that funny or just the truth?
	It's funny to me.
	It's funny to me.
	I'll just set it up as a quick, quick hit.
	There was a convention, I think it's maybe still going on, I'm not sure.
	It's called, let me flip through my notes, the National Conservative Principals PAC meeting.
	We're all...
	The conservatives came and they lectured the harangue of these conservatives, all their basic ideas.
	So Gingrich comes up with this kind of typical thing and then he drops a bomb at the end, which is just bullcrap.
	And it's like, you know, I'll explain it after you play it.
	I'm very optimistic.
	I believe that in 2012 we could win a historic election and we could end the 80-year dominance of the left Wait a minute.
	What?
	This proves our theory that it's one big party.
	Yeah, obviously.
	80 years.
	Did he mean eight?
	No, it wasn't even eight.
	It's been two.
	It's been two.
	Exactly.
	It's been two.
	Do we have to listen to more or is that it?
	Oh, that wasn't it.
	That's just another...
	Oh, oh, oh.
	...this country back into a center-right government reflecting the core values of the American people.
	Oh, yes.
	Oh, yes.
	Newt, Newt, Newt, Newt, Newt.
	I think there are three large topics on which we can recenter America.
	The first is values.
	Because this is truly a center-right country, not a left-wing country.
	The second is the economy...
	Because this is a country that favors jobs, paychecks, and economic growth.
	And the third is national security.
	Let me briefly describe why I believe this is true.
	Gallup, about two months ago, asked the question...
	Here it is.
	Do you believe that the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence make America an exceptional country...
	Or do you believe we're a normal country?
	By 80 to 18, the American people said we're an exceptional country.
	The problem is the 18 includes many of our politicians, many of our bureaucrats, many of our judges, much of our news media, and many of our tenured faculty.
	Who says?
	Where does he get this bull crap?
	Study says.
	Study shows.
	It doesn't say the 18% include the tenured professors, the news media, the politicians.
	Where is this?
	That's not in the poll.
	Watson did some deep analysis.
	He just made it up.
	Watson did deep analysis and came up with the solution.
	He just made it up and throw it out there.
	Like, what's the 18%?
	The 18% are probably illegal aliens, for all we know.
	We don't know who the 18% are.
	I said, that's what I'd be irked about if I was an illegal alien.
	That's what I'd check on the box.
	Eh, this country sucks.
	Or some Swiss guy who lives in Geneva or Zug.
	Yeah, it's just a normal country.
	There's nothing special about this place.
	Anyway, that's the point.
	The guy's annoying.
	Yeah, he's a dick.
	Alright, so I just want to say one last thing because I thought it was hilarious from Gitmo Nation Lowlands.
	You know how these kids these days have the Twitters, John?
	They've got this tweet thing going on?
	I've heard about it.
	Yeah.
	So sometimes you've got to be careful because you may think you're tweeting or doing a DM, like a direct message.
	You know you can do that with the Twitters.
	You can send a direct message private to someone.
	Yes.
	Do you know how to do this?
	Because you should be careful.
	Yeah, I'm very careful.
	So this Dutch politician, Frank van der Forst, he thought he was DMing someone.
	Now, he's a single man, so it's okay what he sent, but instead of DMing, it went out publicly.
	And here I have the translation of his tweet.
	As you throbbingly climax for the first time, I feel your juices in my mouth as if they were the nectar of love.
	Oh, that's disgusting!
	And, of course, everyone's calling him on it because you can't, like, delete a tweet.
	Yes, you can delete a tweet.
	Yeah, well, he didn't do it in time.
	Most of you don't know how to do it.
	Yeah, well, he doesn't know how to do it.
	He doesn't know how to DM, apparently, either.
	What a dork.
	Anyway, I think he did have the best comeback line.
	He said, well, at least I got a couple extra followers.
	That is good.
	Yeah, good luck with that.
	All right, tell us about this end-of-show clip we got coming back.
	All right, this is the guy, Fine, again, who did the book American Empire, which is, what's his name?
	American Empire Before the Fall, Bruce Fine.
	And this is a couple of the small snippets that I put together, and it's the same kind of rant about how...
	It's two clips, kind of one and another, but it's just, you won't know, seamless.
	But it's like...
	You're right.
	Seamless.
	But it's like, it's just a depressing kind of, you know, overview of the problems we've got.
	And I think it's thematic, and I think it does reflect some of the ideals of the show.
	But it's a good way to finish.
	It's on the list.
	I'll get the book right after the show.
	And remember, Dvorak.org slash NA to support our giving levels.
	We're doing the work, value for value.
	We appreciate all your support and our knights and dames and everyone on the lower giving levels.
	Every single little bit helps.
	And coming to you from the Hilltop Watchtower Crackpot Command Center where I watch this bed for a living.
	My name's Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, can I buy you a drink and...
	Missions accomplished, I think.
	Make sure to join the 300 Club if you can.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We will talk to you again on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	No Agenda.
	We the people are sovereign.
	The power belongs to us.
	We decide what the government can do and what not do.
	And now it's the other way around.
	The government decides everything.
	And we the people, generally speaking, are very indifferent and lethargic with regard to defending our rights.
	And the whole nature, as Edward Armour pointed out, if you have a people of sheep, you'll get a government of wolves.
	But the founding fathers knew.
	Constant vigilance.
	Never, never trust government because their motives are virtually invariably ulterior and it's to stay in power.
	That's the kind of people who gravitate to Washington, D.C. They covet power for the sake of power.
	And that means that you have to have the checks and balances and public responsiveness call these people to account.
	If the system is to continue to work as it should, as a republic.
	But we are well beyond the republic, as envisioned by the founding fathers.
	And let me explain, I think, in a very easy way, why the culture has turned the constitutional philosophy on its head.
	The founding fathers believed that liberty and freedom was the rule and government encroachments were the exception.
	And therefore, if evidence and experience was inconclusive as to whether or not some government investigative tool, some oversight, some of the surveillance that John was describing, if the evidence was inconclusive, that really wasn't shown, was indispensable to preserving the sovereignty, the default position is freedom and individual rights, not government authority.
	Now it's the other way around.
	The government can see, well, the body scanner in the next century might pick up one person who is stupid enough or clumsy enough to come and walk through the screen with a weapon there.
	Then we'll use the screen on a billion people.
	It totally inverts the philosophy of life in government that made this country distinct.
	It was our signature.
	The individual is the center of the universe, not the government.
	Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness and securing those for individuals was the sole and exhaustive purposes of government, not building empires, running around the world and trying to tell other people how to live, even if we knew how to do it.
	The president doesn't make it legal.
	The whole idea of the Nixon-Tapes case, and even the Clinton-Paula Jones case, the president is not above the law, but today the president is above the law.
	President is above the law.
	We have presidents who state they have the right to tell their White House staff they do not need to respond to congressional subpoenas.
	They say, we don't want oversight.
	You can't look at what we're doing.
	We are, you know, it's like Marie the 14th, the state, I am the state.
	And does Congress respond like they did with Nixon when he flouted their subpoena in the impeachment inquiry?
	That's an impeachable offense.
	The congressional oversight power is dead if you can ignore a subpoena.
	No.
	Please, well, if the members won't, if the staff won't testify, maybe we can get somebody in the business community who will know something to ask questions of.
	And the authority clearly is there.
	To impose impeachment, contempt of court, fine the people who don't appear, and things like that.
	What happens?
	Nothing.
	That's why Congress is in the total dark.
	You know, the members on the Intelligence Committee told me they learn more from WikiLeaks than they learn in all the briefings in the prior five years.
	You have to have WikiLeaks for oversight?
	You know, that is a disaster.
	That is a disaster.
	And all of these claims made by the President, usurpations, Congress has acquiesced, and we now live basically in a situation where all our liberties are dependent upon and indulgent President.
	The legal architecture of tyranny is already there, even though it's true Obama has asserted it to the maximum.
	You know, just like when Hammurabi announced his code, unilaterally.
	Well, you know, he could take it back or not, but he was benevolent, so people didn't protest at the time.
	But that's not what the United States was made for.
	We the people, the three most important words in the United States Constitution, we the people are sovereign.
	The power belongs to us.
	We decide what the government can do and what not do.
	Now somebody says, well everything that's going on in the world is certainly not under the influence of Satan.
	You might be surprised how much is.
	You should use a rule of thumb to understand what is and what is not.
	Jesus said in John 10 and 10, the thief cometh not but for, to steal and to kill and to destroy.
	I would suggest that if it's stealing, killing and destroying, it's certainly not coming from God.
	It's either caused by man that Satan is working through, and he might be working through somebody that they don't even know he's working through.
	So if it takes ground forces, it's going to be at ground forces.
	Meaning it may have only just begun.
	Mark McAllister, Global News.
	Now, Defense Minister McCain, McClell, did confirm today that more than 54 18 fighter jets are spending about as much as 20 and ready to assist the 600 deployed over the Announce needed.
	Now, it did depend that how the NOLAN remerges RN while the university or the UN mission as whole received support from all batteries in the hues of the garbans of today.
	Excuse me.
	I'll hand it back to you.
	Squirrel!
